High Protein Chickenless Wrap (Printable)

A nourishing wrap filled with plant-based protein, crisp greens, and zesty dressing for a fresh taste.

# What You'll Need:

→ Plant-Based Protein

01 - 1 can (14 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
02 - 7 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed

→ Vegetables & Greens

03 - 2 large whole wheat or spinach wraps
04 - 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
05 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
06 - 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced

→ Caesar Dressing

07 - 3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (use dairy-free yogurt for vegan)
08 - 1 tbsp olive oil
09 - 1 tbsp lemon juice
10 - 1 tsp Dijon mustard
11 - 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
12 - 1 small garlic clove, minced
13 - 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (or vegan Parmesan)
14 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

→ Toppings

15 - 2 tbsp roasted sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds
16 - Extra shaved Parmesan (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Lightly mash the chickpeas in a bowl, leaving some whole for texture. Add cubed tofu and gently toss to combine.
02 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, Parmesan, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl until smooth.
03 - Add chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, and red onion to the chickpea-tofu mixture. Pour dressing over and toss until evenly coated.
04 - Lay wraps flat and evenly divide the filling between them. Sprinkle with sunflower or pumpkin seeds and add extra Parmesan if desired.
05 - Fold the bottom edge over the filling, roll tightly, and slice in half if preferred.
06 - Serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil for on-the-go consumption.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent like a Caesar salad but keeps you full for hours.
  • Comes together in 25 minutes flat, making it perfect for when you're hungry right now.
  • Works for meal prep, packing for lunch, or impressing someone who thinks plant-based eating is boring.
02 -
  • Press your tofu before you even open the chickpea can; wet tofu ruins the entire texture of the wrap and makes everything soggy.
  • Don't assemble these more than an hour before eating, or the wraps will start to get soft from the dressing seeping through.
03 -
  • Toast your seeds lightly in a dry pan for two minutes before adding them; this deepens their flavor and makes them taste less like an afterthought.
  • Make extra dressing and use it on salads or as a dip for roasted vegetables throughout the week—it keeps for four days and only gets more flavorful.
