It’s my cousin Monica’s creation. She tried to create something delicious for me, knowing I’m not a meat eater. Did I enjoy it? Oh yes! Her recipe inspired me to make these plant-based tortilla wraps for my friends. It didn’t take long for everything to disappear.
The main pieces of kitchen equipment you’ll need are a cast-iron skillet, a chef knife and a cutting board. You’re going to use the skillet to saute the filling and to toast your vegan wraps.
Why is it better to make vegan wraps at home? Firstly, there is no added sugar. When you make tortilla wraps at home, you skip the added sugars. We are not using flavor enhancers as we get all the flavors of the veggies themselves. We get a thick filling by sauteing the veggies and evaporating the moisture. Ripe diced avocado works like glue for this filling. Usually when you buy tortilla wraps it contains modified food starch. These ingredients don’t add nutritional value to your food.
Avocado is a source of vitamins C, E, K, and B6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium.

Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, with one serving provides 184% of your daily value. Carrots are also rich in Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Biotin, Vitamin K1, Potassium, Vitamin B6, Lutein.
Beans provide protein, fiber, folate, iron, potassium and magnesium while containing little or no total fat, trans-fat, sodium and cholesterol.
Onions are high in Vitamin C and a good source of dietary fiber, and folic acid. Additionally, they also contain calcium, iron and antioxidants such as quercetin and a flavonoids. Onions contain no fat.
Eggplant is a great source of vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, thiamine, niacin, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, copper, fiber, folic acid and potassium.

Specific quantities of all ingredients are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.
Peel and cut the onion. Then cube the eggplant. Dice white mushrooms and one medium-sized carrot. Add sweet corn and green beans. Place everything in a skillet with a bit of vegetable oil and fry on medium heat. Don’t forget to add some salt and tomato sauce. Saute for about 15 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally until softened. Veggies should evaporate their moisture. When it’s ready, add chilli beans (if you are using frozen veggies mix with beans, skip this step). Dice one fresh tomato and one avocado. Mix them with the fried veggies. At the very end sprinkle a bit of Parmesan and mix one more time. The filling should be thick.
Place your filling in the center of the tortilla. Just take care not to use too much filling. Fold the bottom over and then fold over both edges. That’s how you make tortilla wraps.
Heat a thin layer of oil in a frying pan, on a medium heat. Add the wraps to the skillet and leave while they toast. After a couple of minutes, the bottom should be nicely browned and crisp. Flip over and repeat on the other side. Enjoy!
Keep wraps stuffing in the airtight containers up to two days. If you have ready leftovers you can store tortilla wraps by placing them in airtight plastic bags or containers before putting them in the refrigerator.
