Vegan Buffalo Chicken Wraps

Full of nutrition this crave-able buffalo wrap has spicy roasted soy curls, hemp hearts for additional protein and omega's, and a creamy dairy free yogurt sauce dressed kale. I threw some pickles in mine for the ultimate crunchy, tangy, saucy wrap, and I highly suggest you do too! The perfect quick lunch option, or vegan meal prep.

Soy curls are a top vegan protein option for texture and how well it soaks up flavour. They're are also super easy to cook, and because they're a dehydrated product they're great pantry staple for plant-based cooks, vegetarians, or anyone looking to reduce their meat consumption with high protein vegan options.

 

Recipe Notes

There are two tortilla brands that I like and are available to me where I am, these Bakestone Brothers ones, and the Indian Life ones. The Bakestone ones are small, with decent macros: 110 cals - 3g fat - 19g carb - 4g protein (used for this recipe), and the Indian Life tortillas are large and pretty high in calories at 290 cals per tortilla. But given that we're always doing macros on here and I know you guys have goals I generally don't use the Indian Life ones because they increase the calories way to much. But if you're up for the calories, they're delicious! SO back to my point - this recipe makes 6 "smaller" wraps because the Bakestone one's I've linked are more of a snack size. For a bigger wrap, you can definitely switch these out and pack 'em fuller!

Why You'll Love This Recipe

This is a great meal prep option! You can prep the wraps whole and wrap them tightly and seal them in these amazing glass meal prep containers (or something like these). Or you can prep the ingredients individually and wrap them as you go!

Meal prep just the buffalo chicken for an easy protein option to add to salads, bowls, or wraps all week.

It's dairy free, and can easily made gluten free by choosing a gluten free wrap of choice.

It has a great amount of protein for pretty minimal calories making it a nice light lunch option.

Using greens like kale adds a big boost of nutrition to every bite!

Substitutions

If you can't find soy curls, maybe you can find these fava and pea chunks, or Say Grace dehydrated soy products (code: EVANNRYAN saves you 10%!). If you don't have access to any of those options you can also use extra firm tofu! Just chop the tofu into bite size chunks and season with the buffalo seasoning listed in the recipe.

Make this into a salad instead of a wrap! 

Add additional vegetables to make this a bigger meal.

Vegan Buffalo Chicken Wraps

Recipe makes 6 smaller wraps (see recipe notes at the top of the page)

Macros per wrap:

387 cals - 19g fat - 32g carbs - 22g protein 

 

Ingredients:

• 1 bag Soy Curls (227g) or sub fava & pea protein chunks for soy free 
• 2 tbsp paprika powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp salt 
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup sriracha or buffalo hot sauce 
• 6 cups kale, I like Lacinato kale best!
• 1/2 cup vegan greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp dried parsley 
• 1 tbsp dried green onion, or dried chives
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 6 tbsp hemp hearts
• 3-4 large pickles, optional but SO tasty in here!
• 6 whole wheat tortillas

 

Recipe:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 375 F and line a baking tray with parchment or lightly oil the bottom. Set aside.
2. Bring 6 cups water to a boil.
3. Add the entire bag of soy curls to a large bowl and cover in boiling water. Let sit for 10 minutes to hydrate.
4. After 10 minutes, drain the soy curls and press any excess water out that you can from the curls.
5. Add the soy curls to a mixing bowl with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix well to season the curls.
6. Spread the seasoned soy curls across the prepared baking tray and bake for 20 minutes. At 20 minutes toss the soy curls around flipping them as best you can. Return the soy curls back to the oven to get browned and crispy, roughly 5-10 minutes longer.
7. Once soy curls are done add them back to a mixing bowl and add olive oil and hot sauce. Toss really well to coat the soy curls. They should be bright red and shiny.
8. Set finished soy curls aside.
9. Wash, dry, and chop the kale into small pieces and add to a mixing bowl.
10. Make the dressing by adding to a bowl: yogurt, dried parsley and green onion, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Whip together until smooth.
11. Pour the dressing over the kale and add hemp hearts. Toss the salad well to mix.
12. Lay 6 tortillas on a clean surface and divide the kale salad down the center of each tortilla. 
13. Divide the buffalo soy curls across all 6 wraps.
14. If using: slice the pickles and add to each wrap, or alternatively keep the pickles on the side if you won't be eating all the wraps for a few days to keep the from getting soggy.
15. Roll the wraps up as tight as you can and add to sealable meal prep containers.
16. Enjoy!
