With only minutes of prep, this recipe for Vegetarian Wraps are not only a hit with the adults, but they make a kid-friendly lunch as well! From the soft wrap to the creamy ranch spread to the crisp vegetables, this Veggie Wrap features similar flavors to that of Crescent Roll Cold Vegetable Pizza and is simply irresistible.
Key Ingredients
- Wraps: For the base of this vegetable wrap use a flour tortilla, gluten-free tortilla, lavish bread, or naan wrap.
- Ranch Seasoning: I recommend using homemade ranch seasoning to control sodium and omit MSG and added preservatives. You likely have all the ingredients on hand to whip up this staple spice mix. Of course, feel free to use your favorite packaged ranch seasoning mix.
- Greek Yogurt: Be sure to use plain Greek yogurt for the ranch base. It is full of protein and is a tangy, thick blank canvas, which lends itself to the ranch base. In place of the yogurt, you can use sour cream.
- Cream Cheese: Use regular or reduced-fat cream cheese, not fat-free cream cheese for the best results. Be sure your cream cheese is at room temperature to make the process of mixing
- Vegetables: You want to select sturdy vegetables that do have a lot of moisture content. My personal favorite veggies to use for these wraps are carrots, seeded cucumber, broccoli florets, and bell peppers.
- Cheese: Finish the flavors of these wraps by adding shredded sharp cheddar or Colby Jack cheese to the wraps.
How to Make Vegetarian Wraps
The following tips are provided to help you achieve perfect results. You will find the detailed instructions in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Prepare Ranch Spread. In a small bowl, prepare the ranch spread by mixing together softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and ranch seasoning until everything is well incorporated and creamy.
- Assemble Veggie Wrap. Spread a couple of tablespoons of the ranch spread on each wrap leaving ¼ inch border along the edges. Sprinkle the spread with shredded cheese to cover. Add the vegetables, evenly dispersed over the wrap. To fold the veggie wrap, fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll from the bottom up.
Serving Suggestions
Whether you pack these vegetable wraps alongside a homemade fruit-roll-up and homemade cheese crackers for a school lunch, prepare for a work lunch, or a picnic on the go, everyone will love this tasty alternative to a sandwich.
And while these wraps are perfect for lunches, you can also opt to slice the veggie wraps into pinwheels and serve them as an irresistible party appetizer.
Tips for the Best Veggie Wraps
- Choose your vegetables wisely. Soggy ingredients will result in soggy wraps. Therefore be selective with your vegetables and choose vegetables with low moisture content. Don't use tomatoes if you aren't serving your wrap immediately. Use seedless cucumbers or remove the seeds from cucumbers to keep the moisture content low.
- Don’t overdo it! Choose a few vegetables to use for your wrap, but don't overload your veggie wrap. Using too many vegetables, as delicious as they look, can cause your wrap to break.
- Get creative. Add sprouts, spinach, sliced cabbage, or olives to your wrap.
- Make it dairy-free. Replace the ranch wrap with mashed avocado or hummus and skip the cheese for a delicious vegan-friendly veggie wrap.

What are these rectangle looking wraps and where can I get them? Hoping to find gluten free also!
Kristen Chidsey
Hi Danielle, this is Lavash bread, typically found by pita bread. Unfortunately, I haven't seen gluten-free varieties often.

Ok thank you so much!
