Description

These plant-based wraps are a vibrant and flavorful option for a light lunch or dinner. Imagine a soft, pliable wrap embracing a medley of pan-fried bell peppers, earthy mushrooms, and subtly sweet red onions. The vegetables are seasoned with a warm blend of paprika, aromatic oregano, a touch of chili powder for a gentle kick, and savory ground cumin, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate.

The pan-frying process caramelizes the vegetables slightly, enhancing their natural sweetness and adding a delightful textural contrast. The filling is both tender and slightly crisp, offering a satisfying bite every time. To elevate the experience, a generous dollop of creamy coconut milk yogurt adds a cool and tangy counterpoint to the savory vegetables.

This dairy-free alternative provides a lusciousness that complements the other ingredients beautifully. Slices of ripe avocado contribute a buttery richness and smooth texture, creating a melt-in-your-mouth sensation. Finally, a sprinkle of crunchy pumpkin seeds introduces a delightful textural contrast, adding a nutty flavor and satisfying crunch that completes the dish.

These wraps are incredibly versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. While the recipe calls for sliced cremini mushrooms, feel free to experiment with other varieties such as button, portobello, or shiitake. Each type of mushroom will impart a slightly different flavor and texture, allowing you to create a truly unique wrap.

You can also add other vegetables to the mix, such as zucchini, spinach, or kale, for added nutrients and flavor. These wraps are perfect for a quick and easy meal, making them ideal for a weeknight dinner or a packed lunch. They are satisfying on their own, but can also be served with a variety of sides, such as cauliflower rice seasoned with fajita spices or a fresh salsa.

Whether you're looking for a plant-based option or simply a delicious and flavorful meal, these wraps are sure to please.

Instructions

    1.
    Thinly slice the bell peppers and onion. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and onion to the skillet and pan-fry for two minutes until slightly softened.
    2.
    Thickly slice the mushrooms. Add the mushrooms to the skillet along with the paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and oregano. Stir well to combine. Pan-fry for 5 minutes more, heating through the spices and softening the vegetables.
    3.
    Trim the tough bases from the lettuce leaves and any wilted edges. Divide the fajita mixture evenly between the two lettuce leaves, covering 2/3 of each leaf. Thinly slice the avocado and layer over the fajita vegetables.
    4.
    Spoon a tablespoon of coconut milk yogurt over the top of each veggie-filled wrap. Sprinkle over the pumpkin seeds. Fold the uncovered 1/3 of each lettuce leaf over the vegetable filling, forming a neat wrap. Serve warm.
