Vegan Wrap Recipe with Tempeh Scramble, Jalapeno Dip & Broccoli (2024)

Loaded with plant-based protein this vegan wrap recipe features tempeh scramble, blanched broccoli, and a tangy spicy Jalapeno Popper Dip. It will keep you full and energized for hours. A healthy grab-and-go breakfast ready in just 30 minutes.

Now in this wrap, the scramble is amped up with some made from scratch Jalapeno popper dip and broccoli.
That Jalapeno Popper Dip = make it! It’s just soaked cashews and flavors and some pickled jalapenos and really it tastes so good. You can add some cheese to the vegan breakfast wrap and warm it to melt the cheese for a gooier cheesier wrap too.

Ingredients needed for making this Vegan Wrap recipe:

• Tempeh: a healthy way to add more plant-based food to any diet. It typically comes from soybeans, but you can also make it from other kinds of beans. You can buy it pre-seasoned or mixed with other grains. We use unseasoned.
• A creamy Jalapeno Popper Dip takes this wrap to the next level: It gets its creaminess from soaked ground cashews. Apple Cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice add some bright freshness. A couple of teaspoons of nutritional yeast add that cheesiness we love. And of course, we also add some pickled jalapeno peppers.
• Veggies: I add some tomatoes, onions, garlic and bell pepper to my tempeh scramble but you can use your favorite veggies. Blanched broccoli adds a nice color contrast.
• Spices and herbs: we season out tempeh scramble with a fragrant blend of oregano, smoked paprika, turmeric, mustard powder and a generous pinch of Kala namak (black salt)

Tips and Substitutions for making Vegan Breakfast Wraps:

• The recipe makes enough filling for 2 wraps, but can easily be doubled.
• Soak your tempeh in boiling water for 10 minutes, to keep it from getting bitter after it’s cooked. Remember to drain it well before you add it to the scramble.
• Add Daiya pepper jack or cheddar into the filling or sprinkle some on top of the wrap. Heat the wrap to melt the cheese and serve.
• You can add other veggies like sweet peppers and chopped celery.
• If you cannot find tempeh, use crumbled firm tofu and no water, instead of the tempeh, cook for a few minutes with the veggies and serve.
• These vegan breakfast wraps can be made gluten-free with gluten-free tortillas. You could also forego the tortilla wraps by serving this all up in a bowl.
• Or use the filling to make vegan breakfast tacos.
• These vegan tempeh wraps can also be made nut-free with any white beans used to make the dip, and soy-free by using white beans for the scramble.

How to make this Vegan Tempeh Scramble Wrap recipe:

Make the tempeh scramble. Cook the onions, garlic, peppers, then add tomato and spices.

Add tempeh and water and mix well. Cover and cook until all water is absorbed and the tempeh is soft.

Warm the tortilla. Top with the creamy cashew dip mixture. Top with sliced pickled Jalapenos and some bread crumbs.

Add tempeh scramble and blanched broccoli.

Sprinkle the filling with salt and pepper. Wrap the tortilla up using your fingers to gently tuck in the ingredients, so they stay inside the tortilla. Make sure your tortillas are nice and soft, so they don’t crack while you roll them.

Can these wraps be made ahead of time?

Yes! Prepare the tempeh scramble and the Jalapeno Popper dip the night before, and have this wrap ready in the morning in no time! The perfect savory vegan breakfast wrap/burrito!

From my brain to blog Wednesdays. ~~
Frequent discussion topics.

But humans have been eating meat, dairy etc since ages.
Something that has been accepted for a while does not automatically make it normal or natural.
Child marriage and girl child foeticide is still practiced in some parts in India.
That does not make them acceptable.

Animals are sentient, self-aware, and capable of experiencing both pleasure and pain. They deserve our respect anddeservea natural life and freedom.
There is information out there and a choice every person can make to choose less cruelty. And we can do it all without sacrificing taste, habits and pleasure.

Vegans are mean,judgmental, preachy and try to convert other people.
a- It is difficult to imagine the amount of and the kind of information an ethical vegan happens upon during the transition. That information is what brings out the compassion and action and helps them transition and continue. That passion can sometimes lead to strong opinions.
b- A good number of times, it is the other way around. Once someone receives the information given to them by a vegan, the sub conscious can process and understand the cruelty and suffering of animals, and make them feeluncomfortable, and can transfer the discomfort to the other person(mean, preachy).
c- Even if one of us gets worked up and behaves in a non acceptable manner(I am guilty of being worked up too), Stereotyping is probably the worst thing that can be done to a population or group. All black men in hoodies are not out there to mug everyone. All Indian men I encounter are not going to pinch my butt. All Vegans are not mean.

Vegans try to inspire people to find out more about the food choices and make changes, by talking/preaching frequently about it.
Equal rights movement can also be viewed as imposition of views/preachy. Ethical choice is applicable to anyone whether a participant or not. A sex-offender would also call the laws an imposition of someone else’s views.

We were not born vegan, and everyone comes into the transition at their own pace. What is not nice is all the calling out that happens on social media or sites because of the power of being behind a machine. Be gentle, vegans be compassionate to non-vegans, and non-vegans be gentle to the compassionate and sensitive vegan souls too.
