vegan chicken pot pie wrap hack
Here's an idea I bet you haven't seen stuffed into the tiktok wrap hack trend. Chicken pot pie filling is a savory, creamy treat and I've accomplished the taste and texture with leftover mashed potatoes, browned vegan chicken, mixed veggies, and vegan cheese.
Servings 1 wrap
Ingredients
- ½ C vegan unbreaded chicken pieces
- ½ C frozen mixed vegetables (corn, peas, carrots, green beans), thawed and drained
- 1 (10 to 11-inch) flour tortilla
- 1 C leftover mashed potatoes
- 2 slices vegan mozzarella cheese or 1 cup shreds
- 1 teaspoon vegan butter, divided
Instructions
- Cook the vegan chicken pieces in a cast iron pan or non-stick skillet according to package directions or until browned. Set aside in a bowl.
- To thaw the frozen mixed vegetables you can pour boiling water over them and let them sit while you cook the chicken. Drain from the excess water through a sieve. Also heat the leftover mashed potatoes in the microwave until slightly warmed.
- Place the tortilla onto a clean surface or cutting board.
- Imagine the tortilla in quarters. Use a spoon to spread the mashed potatoes around the entire surface of the tortilla as evenly as possible. Use a knife to cut a slit from the center to the bottom edge.
- Place a cheese slice on the bottom left quarter and another on bottom right quarter. Add the browned vegan chicken pieces to the upper left quarter and gently press them into the mashed potatoes to help them stick. Add the vegetables to the upper right quarter, gently pressing to help them stick.
- Fold the wrap up, starting from the bottom left quarter, folding it up over the top left, then folding it over to the top right, then folding it down to the bottom right.
- Spread ½ a teaspoon of vegan butter onto each side of the tortilla. Place it into a hot grill pan or a panini press. For the grill pan option, place a sandwich press on top or use another cast iron pan to help weight and flatten it. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until crispy. I also let the wrap sit in the pan with a lid on it and the heat off to get the cheese even more melted, if needed.
