Vegan Crunchwrap Supreme
pinchofyum.com
I’m a Crunchwrap, and I’m drenched in cashew queso, and I’m totally VEGAN.
I’m loaded to obscenity with browned sofritas tofu, black beans, cashew queso, crispy tostada, tangy marinated cabbage, tomatoes, avocado, and I’m wrapped in a golden brown, perfectly crispy, handheld-friendly tortilla pocket. I am here to make you happy.
But I’m also a blank canvas. You have some cauliflower walnut taco meat laying around? Roasted sweet potatoes? Chipotle cauliflower? I will wrap all of it up in a Crunchwrappy hug and you will not be sad at dinnertime.
Listen, I had some mega requirements for this recipe before I started. It needed to be:
- Reasonably fast (no soaking cashews, no obnoxiously long prep)
- Easy-to-access ingredients (so long, nutritional yeast)
- Customizable to whatever protein / sauce / vegetables I had on hand
- Above all else, SUPER RIDICULOUSLY DELICIOUS.
- So yes, this is a recipe, and I did include the instructions for some (VERY VERY EASY) sofritas tofu and cashew queso, because yummy.
But more than a recipe, and more than its elements, the Crunchwrap is really just a method. A lifestyle, some might say.
Magic Green Sauce in the fridge? Corn? Pico? Roasted vegetables? Fajita filling? Use it. Use it all. This is pretty much a universal, open-invite party. I fully endorse the sofritas / cashew queso combo (which is what I’m showing you here!), but I’m not going to die on that hill for those who have their own filling ideas. You do you – just follow the Crunchwrap method.
