Gather the following ingredients
For this dish, you'll need a head of chopped romaine lettuce, two cups cooked chickpeas, and a sliced avocado. Also required are half a cup of unsweetened soy or almond milk, one-fourth cup nutritional yeast, two tablespoons lemon juice, one tablespoon Dijon mustard, two minced garlic cloves, one teaspoon chopped capers, plus salt and pepper. Four large tortillas will serve as your wraps.
Prepare the vegan Caesar dressing
To create the vegan Caesar dressing, combine unsweetened soy or almond milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic cloves, and chopped capers in a blender. Puree these ingredients until the mixture is smooth. Then season with salt and pepper to suit your taste preferences. This rich and creamy dressing will tie together the wrap's flavors with its unique tangy and savory qualities.
Assemble your wrap
Lay each tortilla on a clean surface and spread a generous amount of the vegan Caesar dressing over it. Then, evenly distribute the chopped romaine lettuce on top of the dressed tortillas. Add slices of avocado for a creamy texture and spoon on cooked chickpeas to infuse protein into your wrap, ensuring a balanced distribution of ingredients.
Roll your wraps
To roll your wraps, start at one end of each tortilla and fold it over the ingredients. Roll tightly toward the opposite end, ensuring that all fillings are encased well. This method prevents the contents from falling out as you eat. If needed, insert toothpicks to secure the wraps, maintaining their shape and making them easier to handle and enjoy.
Serve and enjoy
Enjoy your ultimate vegan Caesar wraps, a delightful culinary creation that's ready to serve. These wraps are an ideal choice for a nourishing lunch or a light evening meal, offering the same indulgent flavors you love without any animal products. Each bite is a testament to the versatility of plant-based ingredients, ensuring a satisfying experience that aligns with a compassionate lifestyle.
