👑 The Best (Vegan) Crunch Wrap

What’s up, Hustlers! 

Stop doubting. Start believing.

The energy it takes to worry? Use that energy to believe.

We have already made it through 100% of life's bullshit.

That truth should ignite a fire of confidence in us, knowing we can face anything head-on.

You have everything you need within you. Trust it.

 .WHAT I’M COOKING. 

Vegan Crunch Wrap Supreme 🌯 Growing up, Crunch Wraps were one of my favorite meals. Now, I’m making a vegan twist on this classic, and let me tell you, Drew LOVED this one! It's packed with flavor, plant-based goodness, and just the right amount of crunch. Try it out and let me know what you think! ⬇️

Queso Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw, unsalted cashews (or butter beans!)

• 3/4 cup hot water

• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast

• 1 clove garlic (or 1 tablespoon garlic powder)

• 1 tsp chili powder

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp cumin

• 1/2 tsp turmeric (for a nice cheesy color!)

• 1/2 tsp sea salt

• 2 tsp hot sauce (I like Cholula or Tapatio)

• Or, you can always opt for store-bought creamy queso.

Directions for Queso:

• Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy.

• Secret ingredient: I like to blend in carrots to create more of an orange, cheesy color 🥕 

Crunch Wrap Ingredients:

• 1 cup queso (homemade or store-bought)

• 1 tbsp coconut or avocado oil

• 6 oz plant-based chorizo

• 6 oz plant-based "beef" (any meat substitute works)

• 2 tsp taco seasoning

• 10 large 10-inch tortillas (2 will be cut into quarters)

• 2 cups tortilla chips (or hard shell tacos)

• 1 cup salsa

• 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes

• 1 cup iceberg lettuce

• 1/4 cup cilantro

• 1 cup guacamole (store-bought or 2 avocados mashed)

Directions for Crunch Wraps:

• Melt oil in a hot pan. Cook the plant-based chorizo and "beef" with taco seasoning for 5 minutes. Set aside.

• Build your Crunch Wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on your work surface. Layer with the cooked "meat," queso, tortilla chips or half a taco shell, salsa, tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro, and guac. Leave about 2 inches around the edge for folding. Be careful not to overstuff!

• Cut another tortilla into quarters and place a quarter piece in the center over the ingredients. Fold the edge of the larger tortilla toward the middle to close.

• Reheat the pan on medium with a little more oil. Cook the crunch wrap seam-side down for 2 minutes until golden, flip, cook for another minute, and serve with a dollop of vegan yogurt. You can also use an air fryer (380°F for 3 mins) to get that perfect crunch!
