Super Easy Hummus Wrap

Based on the popularity of my first Grocery Shopping 101 post, I decided I need to post some 101 type meal ideas. Sometimes it can seem overwhelming transitioning to a more plant-based diet or it might seem like you need to make long, complicated recipes. The truth is that you can eat very simple, healthy foods that take little or no prep time.

Not too long ago, we had a get-together with a mixed group of meat-eaters and non meat-eaters. We made a do-it-yourself wrap bar and everyone loaded up on what they liked. Here's my wrap.



Quinoa Tortilla
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Cucumber, Halved Cherry Tomatoes, Scallions
Romaine
Cilantro
Sprouts
A Splash of Middle Eastern Salad Dressing (Italian would work well too)


I hope this gives you an idea of a quick, easy plant-based meal that you can take with you on the go. I will share more wraps soon, but please feel free to share some of your favorite wrap ideas in the comments!

Where to Find: We picked up all of these ingredients at our local Meijer grocery store, but they should be readily available (though you might have to substitute a regular or other gluten-free tortilla) at any grocery store.

Quick & Easy Tempeh Reuben

Quick & Easy Vegan Tempeh Reuben Vegetarian

2. Now lay it flat and cut into triangles as shown below

3. Saute the onion in the oil until translucent.
4. Add the tempeh and drizzle the tamari over top trying to get all the pieces.
5. Continue to saute, flipping tempeh as needed until both sides are golden.
6. Layer the tempeh & onions, sauerkraut, cheese and thousand island on the bread.
Optional: For my husband, I sprinkle a little cayenne pepper on with the thousand island dressing.
7. Cook on the George Foreman (or other) grill for a couple of minutes until it's hot and has those nice grill lines on it.

Alternatively, you could put the sandwiches together and then fry them in the frying pan.
