Ingredients




Buffalo Wrap:
4 meatless buffalo tenders- thawed (I use Veggie Patch brand)
1 whole-wheat wrap/tortilla (I used a tortilla since thats what we had at home!)
1/2 finely chopped Romaine lettuce
1/2 roma tomato finely chopped
1/2 roasted pepper- cut into strips
1/2 snack stick of reduced-fat Extra Sharp Cheddar (I use Crackel Barrel Brand)- sliced into small thing str
PAM
Ranch Spread:
1 tablespoon reduced-fat Mayo (I use Hellman’s)
1 tablespoon reduced-fat sour cream (I use Breakstone’s Brand)
1 tablespoon Ranch Powder (I use Hidden Valley)
Red crushed pepper- to taste
3 Coarse ground black pepper- grinds

Preparation

1 Preheat toaster oven to 375. Spray baking sheet with PAM and place tenders on sheet. Baked for 10 minutes, flip at 5 minutes. 2 While the tenders are baking, prepare the spread by mixing all ingredients together. Set aside to let the flavors mingle and come together. 3 Mix together the lettuce and tomatoes. Set aside. 4 Just 2 minutes before the tenders are done, spread the ranch onto the tortilla. Place the warm tenders directly onto the torilla in the middle creating a row. Place the cheddar strips, pile high with lettuce and tomatoes and finally add the roasted peppers. Top with a few grinds of black pepper (to taste) and roll into a burrito-shape making sure everything stays inside. Place on a serving dish and cut in half. Enjoy!

About


I used to be a chickatarian and have recently turned into a full vegetarian. It wasn’t a very hard transition for me, considering I’m Indian and most of my food is vegetarian to begin with. However, as a past meat eater, I do miss certain tastes like buffalo or barbecue chicken. The inspiriation for this dish came from the wrap/burrito station at Boston University dining halls- sad, but true. I started off by using meatless buffalo tenders, combine it with my homemade ranch spread, cheddar and roasted peppers. It’s a great lunch that’s packed with protein and veggies. It’s pretty healthy too!
