Spicy Bean Lunch Wrap (copycat vegan recipe)

This copycat recipe is a delicious vegan spicy bean lunch wrap with spicy beans and salad.

Lunch Wraps

Spicy bean wraps, mmmmmmm! Don't they look good? Believe me, you're going to love these.

I do like a wrap as a change from sandwiches. From falafel wraps to veggie sausage wraps. 

This wrap is a copycat recipe or fakeaway (homemade copy of takeaway food) as they are sometimes called. It's my version of a Tesco wrap that I'm rather addicted to.

You may know I've shared vegan recipes for the last few years, but my son and I are still vegetarian. My husband is vegan, so we mostly eat vegan. It's just easier isn't it and so delicious.

Copycat Lunchtime Wrap

This is a wrap I often buy at lunchtime when I'm at work. I'm totally addicted to it. There's salad, lots of beans. the creaminess of cream cheese, the flavour from cheddar and a kick from a spicy tomato sauce. I thought Graham would enjoy it and it was a shame they didn't do a vegan version, so I decided to create a vegan version at home. 

If you're vegetarian feel free to use a strong cheddar and your favourite cream cheese. You can do this with pretty much all my recipes. Choose if you are making them to suit a vegetarian diet or a vegan diet. I'm giving you the idea and recipe, you just need to decide if you are using dairy or dairy-free.

I don't believe in artificial vegan ingredients. Cook with fresh ingredients and make simple swaps for a vegan diet.

Simple Vegan Swaps

butter = dairy free spread

milk = almond milk

cheddar = vegan cheddar 

cream cheese = vegan cream cheese

veggie style Parmesan = vegan style parmesan

eggs = flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseeds & 3 tbsp water left in the fridge to thicken for each egg)

That's pretty much it, really simple swaps with products that taste good and aren't artificial to perk up your meals. Apart from these swaps most of our meals are vegetable or bean based anyway.

Really simple ingredients and recipes, that taste great.

Spicy Bean Lunch Wrap

So back to the wrap. I basically picked up one of the Tesco spicy bean wraps and had a look at the ingredients. 

Black turtle beans - tick

Borlotti beans - tick

Spiced tomato sauce - I used a spicy salsa, the original sauce tastes like salsa

Full fat soft cheese - I used Violife Creamy

Lettuce - tick

Mature cheddar - I used Violife cheddar

Red pepper - tick

Mayonnaise - skipped this, cream cheese is enough

Tomato wrap - I used a wheat and white tortilla wrap

The result was very close to the flavours of the original. Super tasty and a new favourite to make at home in minutes. I do hope you try it.
