Vegan Swiss Chard Wraps
These Vegan Swiss Chard Wraps are an easy and incredibly tasty light meal that is drizzled with an insane Sweet Sriracha Sauce!
I don’t know about you, but I had way too much salsa on Cinco de Mayo. I know, who even says that? The girl who hosted a two-person-turned-four-person mini party and made a double batch of salsa. Yeah well, I had to taste test the salsa numerous times before, because you know, I care about my friends! Totally. Anyway, all I want right now is something light, totally delicious, and incredibly easy to make.
In steps in these Vegan Swiss Chard Wraps – light, rolled up like a burrito wraps that are drizzled with the best sweet and sriracha. I’ve shared this sauce before, and it was so good, I had to share it again.
If this sounds familiar to you at all, you’ve seen my Vegan Lettuce Wraps. I did the exact same thing but instead this time used these beautiful Swiss Chard/Rainbow Chard Wraps instead. Side note, I adore that they are also called Rainbow Chard. I mean, they are SO pretty! I would eat these for the colour of the stems alone.
These Wraps are made up of a secret insanely delicious ingredient – Walnut Meat. I know, wait what?? Walnut meat is exactly that – walnuts softened and ground that taste like taco filling. The first time I made these for my husband, he was in shock. He had tasted so many of my dishes, but still couldn’t believe how delicious this filling tasted. Walnut meat can be made in 10 minutes if you haven’t pre soaked them, and they can adapt any flavour sauce you put on them. Aka, it’s perfect.
Speaking of sauce, this Sweet Sriracha Sauce. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and spicy with that extra kick. The walnut meat soaks in right in so you can be guaranteed that your wraps will taste amazing. I said it before, and I’ll say it again. These are definitely going right back into my weekly rotation.
