Meatless buffalo chicken wraps make it so that vegan dieters can also consume the iconic sandwich. Though absent of its most important ingredient, this dish can still enjoyed by many.
In place of the spicy poultry, this recipe uses seitan, which is classified as "wheat meat." With a much heartier texture than tofu, the wheat meat is cooked until golden brown before pouring in the buffalo sauce. This recipe also requires that the buffalo and ranch sauce be homemade for a fresher taste. These homemade sauces require minimal ingredients and are both completely plant-based.
As opposed to using lettuce, this Vegan Buffalo Chicken Wraps recipe calls for kale that's been rubbed down with olive oil and sprinkled with salt. Topped off with chopped tomatoes and wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla, this wrap is much healthier than the original.
