These Vegan Taco Wraps have all the tastiness of tacos in a convenient wrap form. They’re perfect to take for lunch when you’re craving a taco but want it in something other than a taco shell.
Tacos to Wraps
Tacos have been a staple in our house since I started eating them last year. Yes, I know it’s unbelievable that I only started eating tacos a year ago. But now that I am a taco convert, I love making all different kinds of tacos.
One of the most popular recipes on my blog is my Walnut Meat Tacos. I can see why – they’re so easy to make plus they’re delicious.
Because I love the walnut meat so much I wanted to create another easy recipe that you could throw together for a quick meal.
Tacos for Lunch?
I’m always looking for new lunch ideas to take with me to work. And while I love me some tacos, they’re not the best option for lunch.
Tacos just don’t hold up as well as I’d like in a lunchbox. The stuffing falls out and it makes a big old mess (I’m messy enough when I eat, I don’t need help in that department).

Wraps, on the other hand, are nice and neat if folded correctly so I figured, why not make my beloved tacos in wrap form? Oh yes, sometimes I even impress myself!
Vegan Taco Wraps
My Vegan Taco Wraps have all the tastiness of my walnut meat tacos in a convenient wrap form. I like a nice creamy or saucy addition to my wraps so I started out with some vegan cream cheese and salsa as a base.
Then I added my walnut meat, black olives, and romaine lettuce.
Some other reasons I love these Vegan Taco Wraps:
- versatility – don’t like black olives? Replace it with something else you love
- they’re filled with omega-3s and protein from the walnuts
- they’re so easy to make
- wraps are kid friendly and easy to pack for school lunch

These sound like the “burritos” I would make at work. Except i put a lot more lettuce in them. Might make something like this today for lunch!
