    Delicious recipe for vegetarian wrap sandwich that is great to pack for lunch or a picnic. Tortilla is stuffed with rice and a spicy veggie filling - making this a filling dish.

    Steel plate with rice and veggie stuffed wrap sandwiches

    I love making sandwiches and wraps. They are easy to make, portable and absolutely delicious.

    Here is an easy to make wrap sandwich recipe that is filling and wholesome. Also the recipe can be customized to your likes and dislikes.

    This is not your regular veggie wrap that has raw veggies and smeared with hummus. This recipe is packed with flavor and very filling.

    Tortilla is filling with rice, a spicy chickpea-spinach filling and a simple crunchy cabbage salad. But use this as a base and make it your own by changing the components.

    This vegan wrap sandwich is one of my family favorite. I make these to pack for picnics and for lunchboxes.

    Ingredients

    Most of the ingredients needed are basic pantry staples. Here is what you need to make this recipe:

    Tortillas - any type would work. I have used spinach, garlic, whole-wheat etc. They can be easily subbed with roti/ chapathi for a kathi roll kind of wraps.

    Veggie/ Protein filling - I used a spinach, chickpea filling. But you can use any simple filling made with your favorite veggies and protein. I have a few filling ideas below.

    Ingredients needed - spinach tortillas, coleslaw, chickpea-spinach curry and white rice

    Rice - For this post I used jasmine rice, but feel free to use any kind of rice. Long grain, short grain, anything would work.

    Also you can use whole grains like quinoa, millets, farro etc etc.

    Salad - thinly sliced cabbage and grated carrot add nice crunch factor to the wrap. You can use bagged coleslaw or broccoli slaw instead.

    Instructions

    There are 3 components in this vegetarian wrap sandwich recipe - rice, filling and salad.

    Start by making the rice or the other whole grain of choice.

    Next make the filling. I made a simple spinach-chickpea curry. You can use any leftover curry or stir fry. Only requirement would be to make sure that they are not too watery, otherwise the sandwich would get soggy.

    A simple crunchy salad ties the whole recipe together. Just toss thinly sliced cabbage, grated carrot, cilantro, salt, pepper and lemon juice in a bowl. Set aside until ready to use.

    Step by step photos showing the making of wrap sandwich - place the fillings on the bottom half of the tortilla, fold the bottom edge over the filling, followed by the sides, then roll and wrap to make the sandwich

    To make the wrap, place some rice, filling and some cabbage mixture on the bottom half of the tortilla. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, followed by the sides, then roll and wrap to make the sandwich.

    Serve right away or keep chilled until ready to eat.

    If taking on a picnic, keep them in a cold in a cooler until ready to serve. They can be left out for about 2~3 hours. It may not be safe to keep them out any longer.
