, they are bound to get a bit more excited about eating their vegetables! The ranch spread makes this Veggie Wrap a kid's dream come true....the veggies make it a parent's dream come true.
Key Ingredients
- Wraps: Use your favorite wrap or tortilla. I personally love a thicker wrap like a naan wrap or lavash bread, as the softness of the wrap reminds me of the base of a vegetable pizza.
- Ranch Spread: Made with plain Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and homemade ranch seasoning, this spread is thick, creamy, the perfect base for these vegetarian wraps.
- Vegetables: You want to select sturdy, raw vegetables to use these for these wraps. I recommend carrots, peppers, broccoli, sugar snap peas, and even raw green beans.
- Cheese: Adding sliced or shredded cheddar or provolone cheese to these wraps is optional, but it does help to mimic the flavors in vegetable pizza and flavor.
How to Make Vegetarian Wraps
- Prepare the ranch spread by mixing together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and ranch seasoning.
- Prepare the vegetables by washing, drying, and slicing into thin strips to fit the length of the wrap.
- Spread a couple of tablespoons of the ranch spread on the tortilla, covering the tortilla, but leaving ¼ inch border along the edge free from the spread. This will help to prevent the wrap from getting soggy from the vegetables.
- Top the bottom third of the wrap with about several strips of fresh vegetables.
- To fold the veggie wrap, fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll from the bottom up.
- You can serve the veggie wrap immediately, or wrap tightly (or pack in a sealed container) and store in the refrigerator for 16-18 hours.
Recipe FAQs
If you are vegan or dairy-Free, use mashed avocado place of cream cheese and yogurt and mix with the ranch seasoning.
Keep in mind that you want vegetables that will not get soggy when wrapped and refrigerated, so stay away from veggies such as peas, tomatoes, or cucumbers that have not been deseeded.
If not enjoying immediately, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for 16-24 hours.
