Bunch is arguably the superior meal, especially during the pandemic when time is basically irrelevant. You could fufill your breakfast AND lunch needs in just one meal, and if done right, that meal could fufill most of the nutrients you need for the day! I’m talking proteins, calcium, vitamins and minerals. For this recipe, the ingredients are rich in protein and calcium.
These vegan brunch wraps are easy to make and require very little ingredients, so you can whip them up in a gist without having to spend hours preparing a meal. They can be taken on the go, or eaten at home. Very convenient! In these protein wraps, we have:
- tofu “egg” scramble
- vegan cheeze
- avocado
- red bell peppers.
To make these wraps, all you have to do is make the tofu “egg” scramble, wrap it in a whole wheat tortilla with the other ingredients and grill the wraps for an extra crispy shell (bonus- the cheeze will melt too!)
Without further ado, here is my recipe for Vegan Protein Bruch Wraps!
Protein Brunch Wraps (Vegan)
Ingredients
- 350 g firm tofu
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp nutritional yeast
- ¼ tsp dried parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 small red bell pepper
- 100 g vegan cheeze, sliced into 8 small pieces
- 1 small avocado, sliced
- 8 small whole wheat flour tortillas
Instructions
- Press the tofu: place the block(s) of tofu on a cutting board. Place a sheet or two of kitchen paper on top and then place another cutting board on top of the paper. Put some heavy items such as jars and books on top of the cutting board. After 5 minutes, flip the tofu block(s) and press for another 5mins.
- While the tofu is being pressed, cut and prepare the other ingredients.
- In a pan, heat the olive oil on medium. Crumble the pressed tofu with your hands into the pan. Add the Shani Seasoning and cook for 3mins, stirring to coat all of the tofu with the seasoning. Turn off the stove.
- Wrap everything together: Scoop some tofu “egg” scramble onto a tortilla. Add the cheeze slice, bell pepper and then the avocado. Fold the sides inwards and then roll the tortilla.
- Grill the wraps on medium-high for about 3mins, or until the top is golden brown. Remove from the grill and enjoy hot!
Notes
- The grilling is optional, but it allows the cheeze to melt and the skin to be nice and crispy!
- If you don’t have Shani Seasoning, you can combine nutritional yeast, turmeric, salt and pepper as an alternative.
- Try to cut the avocado as last minute as possible to avoid the avocado browning.
- You can make these wraps regular sized if you like, just use regular size tortilla shells. You’ll proably end up with only 4 wraps.
