Vegan Buffalo Chick'n Wrap

Since becoming vegan, it’s become my goal to ensure I can eat all the same things as meat eaters, but with plant-based foods.

Pre-vegan days saw me eating buffalo chicken wraps on the reg, so I thought I’d recreate the vegan version of one of my favorites during Buffalo Vegan Week.

You can use breaded vegan chick’n or grilled vegan chick’n; it’s up to you.

You can use Frank’s, a BBQ sauce, just aioli, or even hummus to use as a spread for this wrap. It’s easy-to-make, and come lunch-time, you’ll be salivating.

Great for picnics, long walks, or boat trips as well, this well-rounded wrap will leave you satisfied and delighted. It definitely packs a punch!

If you’re not a wrap wrapping connoisseur, don’t worry. I’ve got you covered.

You can’t keep going through life without knowing how to fold a burrito. It’s a life skill everyone should have.

Here’s how to roll a wrap/burrito:

Step 1: Lay contents of wrap/burrito in the middle in an oval shape

Step 2: Fold in the wrap at the “ends” of the food oval.

Step 3: Fold the long side of the wrap closest to you, over the food, and tuck under on the other side.

Step 4: Tighten the tuck and ensure ends of wrap/burrito are also tucked in (to avoid leakage and to stop ingredients from falling out)
