The most delicious plant-based nuggets. Ever.

Have you ever found yourself absolutely craving a snack wrap, but avoiding them because you know they're less than nutritious? I think we all have. But starting now, "snackwraps" and "unhealthy" no longer have to go hand in hand. Today, I'm showing you how to make a more nutritious version of your favorite snack-approved wrap. Oh, and it's also 100% vegan!

These juicy, crispy snack wraps are made with delicious nuggets from Nowadays. Nowadays nuggets are hands down the best vegan option because they're truly good, and they're filled with 13 grams of protein and only 3.5g of fat, 120 calories, and 7g of net carbs! They don't contain saturated fat, either. That beats "real" chicken nuggets by a mile. Another win? They're made with 7 plant-based ingredients, including yellow peas, whole wheat flour, sunflower oil, yeast extract, maple fiber, mushroom extract, and filtered water.

So... what does that mean, exactly? It means they're made without GMOs, soy, or junk! No chemicals or preservatives to see here, folks!

I love Nowadays nuggets because they make a super convenient meal or snack no matter how you enjoy them, and they're also ready in less than 20 minutes! Including them in a snack wrap? Well, that basically creates the flavor jackpot.

Ingredients in vegan snack wraps

Copycat snack wraps are made with only 5 ingredients: tortillas, nuggets, ranch, lettuce, and cheese. To keep them vegan, we'll use a homemade ranch consisting of dairy-free ingredients, lemon juice, and herbs. Here's everything you'll need:

Wrap:

• Nowadays Plant-Based Nuggets: First up for the wraps, you will need 15 Nowadays Plant-Based Nuggets. These will amount to 5 packed and flavorful wraps!
• Tortillas: Next, you'll need 5 8-inch tortillas to hold the fillings.
• Vegan ranch: As for the ranch, you will need about 1 cup to use across all 5 wraps. See the ingredient list below.
• Lettuce: Use 1 cup of shredded lettuce, spread out among all of the wraps.
• Diced Tomato: Use 1 cup diced tomato to add some color and juicy flavor!
• Vegan cheese: Last but not least, finish off the wraps with 1 cup of shredded vegan cheese!

Vegan Ranch:

• Dairy free yogurt: The base of the vegan ranch is made with ¾ cup of dairy-free yogurt. Any brand will work, but make sure it's a plain flavor.
• Dairy free mayonnaise: Next, you will need ¼ cup of vegan mayonnaise.
• Lemon juice: Add a slight tang by including 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
• Salt & pepper: Flavor up the ranch by adding 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper.
• Seasonings and herbs: Last but not least, complete the ranch with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of dried parsley, and 1 tablespoon of fresh dill.

Kitchen tools you'll need to prepare vegan wraps

To make your homemade snack wraps, you will need a mixing bowl and a whisk. You will need a baking sheet or an air fryer to cook the nuggets. Finally, to measure out ingredients, you will need ½ tsp, 1 tsp, 1 tbsp, ¼ cup, ¾ cup and 1 cup-sized measuring cups.

How to make a vegan copycat snack wrap

Nowadays Plant-Based Nuggets snack wraps are so easy to prepare. The nuggets are cooked, the ranch ingredients are whisked together, and then it's just a matter of assembly!

To begin, start with the ranch. Prepare it by whisking all of the ingredients together, and then set it aside.

Next, cook the nowadays plant-based nuggets according to the instructions on the box. I like to cook them in the air fryer.

Start an assembly line by laying out five tortillas.

To each tortilla, add 3 tablespoon of ranch followed by 3 tablespoon of shredded lettuce and 3 tablespoon of the vegan cheese.

Then, add three Nowadays Plant-Based Nuggets to each tortilla, and roll the tortillas into wraps. Do this by tucking in the sides and rolling them from the bottom.

Cut the wraps in half, and enjoy! If preferred, you can enjoy them without cutting in half.

How these snack wraps are more nutritious

"Nutritious" isn't usually a word used to describe snack wraps... until now. By using Nowadays, we're able to use a more nutritious (and more sustainable!) alternative to regular chicken nuggets while also fueling up on plant-based protein.

Nowadays nuggets fit into any healthy lifestyle thanks to their protein-rich, low-calorie, and low-carb makeup. They're the perfect quick and easy meal option too, making both the nuggets and these snack wraps great for busy lifestyles.
