ingredients
(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb vegan ground beef (soy- or pea-protein based)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste

- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1/2 cup dill pickles, chopped
- 1/4 cup vegan mayo (optional)
- 4 large flour tortillas (gluten-free if needed)

directions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for about 4 minutes, until soft.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

- Lay out the tortillas and, if using, spread a spoonful of vegan mayo on each one.
- Divide the cooked filling evenly among the tortillas. Top with vegan cheddar, diced tomato, chopped pickles, and lettuce if desired.
- Roll each tortilla burrito-style, tucking in the sides as you roll to enclose the filling.

storage/reheating
Store ungrilled wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat until warmed through and crispy on the outside. Avoid microwaving if you want to maintain the grilled texture. Assembled wraps can also be frozen individually and reheated directly in a pan.
FAQs
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble them ahead and refrigerate. Grill just before serving for the best texture.
What vegan ground beef works best?
Any soy- or pea-protein based vegan ground will work. Choose your favorite brand based on taste and availability.
Are these wraps freezer-friendly?
Yes, wrap them tightly in foil and freeze. Reheat in a pan or oven until hot throughout.
Can I use a different kind of tortilla?
Absolutely—use whole wheat, spinach, gluten-free, or any preferred wrap.
What’s a good side dish for these wraps?
Serve with sweet potato fries, a green salad, or coleslaw.
Can I omit the vegan cheese?
Yes, but the cheese adds richness and helps bind the filling. Try a cheese-free spread for moisture if preferred.
Is this recipe kid-friendly?
Yes, it’s a hit with kids. Reduce or omit pickles or mustard if needed for milder flavor.
How do I keep the wraps from falling apart?
Make sure not to overfill them and grill with the seam side down first to seal the edge.
Can I bake them instead of grilling?
Yes, place in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for about 10–12 minutes, flipping once, until crisp.
Can I use leftovers in a salad or bowl?
Absolutely—the filling makes a great base for a burger bowl with rice, greens, and sauce.
