    Quick, convenient, and filling. Ready in just 25 minutes!

    Vegan wrap with chick'n strips on plate by salad.

    Veggie wraps with chick’n tenders have been a favorite in my house for many months now.

    Vegan chicken strips are a freezer staple around here.

    They have a permanent spot on my Trader Joe’s grocery list. And tortillas are always on hand.

    So this has quickly become an easy & delicious lunch that I make about once a week.

    And it always sounds good!

    Vegan chicken strips are cooked in the air fryer (or in the oven, if you prefer).

    Then they’re rolled into tortillas with bell pepper slices, romaine, non-dairy feta, and a drizzle of tahini sauce.

    What kind of vegan chicken strips should I use?

    For this veggie wraps recipe, I use Trader Joe’s chickenless tenders.

    They’re high on my list of favorite Trader Joe’s vegan products. And they’re cheaper than Gardein.

    However, Gardein chick’n tenders are also a good choice. I’ve heard that Aldi also has vegan chick’n strips.

    Feel free to use your favorite brand.

    Or for another option, use homemade air fryer falafel. (It can also be baked in the oven!)

    Non-dairy feta

    A spoonful of non-dairy feta takes this wrap up a notch, and adds to its addictive quality.

    You can make your own vegan feta cheese with almonds.

    Or go the store-bought route with Herbivorous Butcher, Violife, or Trader Joe’s vegan feta.

    Another outside-of-the-box option is using marinated cashews. They have a briny quality that works well here.

    Tahini sauce in bowl with spoon.

    Lemon tahini sauce

    This is one of my favorite all-purpose sauces.

    It has just four ingredients. And two of them are water and salt!

    A very pantry-friendly recipe.

    Keep in mind that tahini brands vary in their thickness. So it’s best to start with a smaller amount of water, stir, and then add more as needed.

    The sauce should be thick like ranch dressing.

    Step by step instructions

    Labeled ingredients for vegan chicken wrap.

    Here are the ingredients you will need for these easy vegan chicken wraps.

    Trader Joe's chickenless strips in air fryer basket.

    Follow the package instructions on your preferred brand of vegan chicken strips. Or cook them in the air fryer.

    Air fry at 400 degrees for 13 minutes. Flip them and cook two minutes more.

    Pro tip:

    The breading easily comes off the strips if you move them too soon. Wait until they are pretty much done and look very brown and crisp around the edges before you flip them.

    After flipping, finish them on the other side for a couple minutes more.

    Tahini sauce being drizzled onto vegan chicken strips, romaine, bell pepper slices, and non-dairy feta.

    Warm tortillas in a skillet or pop them into the microwave for about 30 seconds.

    Fill each tortilla with romaine lettuce, bell pepper slices, non-dairy feta, and vegan chicken strips.

    Finish with a drizzle of homemade tahini sauce. And roll them up.

    Make it your own

    Veggie wraps are rife with possibilities for personalization.

    Add any of the following:

    • Spinach instead of romaine
    • Kalamata or Castelvetrano olives
    • Pepperoncini peppers
    • Cherry tomatoes
    • Green or yellow onion
    • Vegan sriracha mayo or vegan ranch dressing instead of tahini sauce

    Serving ideas

    Overhead veggie wraps with salad, vegan feta, and bell peppers on table.

    These wraps are pretty filling on their own. So you don’t necessarily need a side.

    But here are some ideas if you’re feeling extra hungry.

    Serve with any of these side dishes:

    • Oven baked french fries
    • Tomato cucumber salad
    • Easy spinach salad
    • Broccolini with garlic & kale
    • Avocado caprese salad
    • Roasted cauliflower
    • Israeli couscous salad
    • Sautéed kale with garlic

    Vegan chick'n veggie wrap with tahini sauce

    This fast & easy lunch or dinner is made with frozen vegan chicken strips. I use Trader Joe's chickenless strips here, but there are loads of options on the market. Save time by cooking the strips in the air fryer (or follow package directions for other options). Then simply roll in a tortilla with veggies, non-dairy feta, and a tahini sauce drizzle.

    Ingredients

    • 8 vegan chick'n strips
    • 4 tortillas I recommend whole wheat
    • 4 romaine leaves
    • ½ bell pepper sliced thin
    • ¼ cup vegan feta cheese
    • 1 batch vegan tahini dressing

    Instructions

    • Follow the instructions on the bag to make vegan chick'n strips, or use the air fryer.
      To air fry, put all of the strips into the air fryer basket in an even layer. Air fry at 400 degrees for 13 minutes, until the strips are getting brown and crisp. Then flip with a spatula and air fry for 2 more minutes.
    • Warm the tortillas one by one in a warm skillet for a couple minutes on each side until all of the tortillas are warm and pliable. Keep them on a plate covered in a clean dish towel to keep them warm until ready for use.
      Or warm them piled on a plate in the microwave for 30 seconds.
    • Top each tortilla with a leaf of lettuce, sliced bell pepper, two vegan chick'n strips, a Tablespoon of non-dairy feta, and a drizzle of tahini sauce. Roll each tortilla burrito-style and serve.

    Notes

    There are lots of vegan chick'n strips brands on the market. I used Trader Joe's chickenless tenders here. (I'm also a fan of Gardein crispy tenders.) One package of Trader Joe's brand is enough for 4 wraps. You can leave the strips whole as I did here, or cut them into bite-sized pieces.
    If you use a different brand, you'll likely have a different amount of strips in the bag. If needed, just cut them into pieces and equally portion them between the wraps.
    I recommend using red, yellow, or orange bell peppers in the wraps.
    For the non-dairy feta, you can make your vegan feta cheese with almonds. Or go the store-bought route with Herbivorous Butcher or Violife feta. Finally, you can make an outside-of-the-box briny topping with these marinated cashews.

      These looks so good! I think the only ‘tenders’ we have here are Gardein, and I just don’t like there chicken. But there are a few brands of chick’n burgers that I reckon would be great cooked and sliced up in here. That tahini sauce sounds delicious and so simple!

        Thanks, Susan! That’s a good idea to use chick’n burgers instead. Sounds like a perfect replacement!

        Thanks, Shell! I usually use Trader Joe’s 100% whole wheat tortillas. I also really like Stacey’s organic tortillas. They sell them at Campbell’s and Gateway Market in Des Moines. I buy the whole wheat, but they also make white tortillas.
