Mexican Wraps Convenience-style
A quick, easy lunch or supper. Most Mexican sauces in jars are vegan and many are GF or at least wheat-free. Brands to look for include Aldi, Sainsbury’s, Santa Maria, Tesco… We particularly like fajita sauces as they are thick and tasty and usually contain a spice pack in the lid. However, salsa in a jar or tub with some extra spices will also give another GF option. Finally, Warburton’s free-from wraps are also vegan and GF.

Ingredients
- ½-1 tin black beans, drained OR ½-1 pack Cauldron marinated pieces
- Large handful of pitted black olives, roughly chopped
- ½-1 jar fajita or chilli sauce, a vegan type – see above for suggested brands OR tomato salsa with added cumin, paprika and chilli powder
- Grated vegan cheese, eg Violife block OR a sprinkling of nutritional yeast flakes
- Wraps – regular or GF, see above – preferably wholemeal
To serve: chopped avocado, mixed salad and a dollop of vegan mayo, plain vegan yoghurt or vegan sour cream
Instructions
- Warm the black beans, fajita sauce, chopped olives and yeast flakes – on the stove or microwave. Place a serving of the hot mixture (plus vegan cheese if using) inside each wrap you use.
- Heat gently in a microwave – just enough to warm through the wraps. Don’t overcook or the wraps will become hard.
- Serve with the avocado, salad and vegan mayo or sour cream on the side or on top. Eat immediately.

We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.
Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding.
