- ½ Heaping cup warm taco meat (above)
- 2 tbsp spicy sauce

- Small handful tortilla chips
- 1 tsp vegan mayo/sour cream (or regular)
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- Pickled jalapeños (to taste)
- 2 tbsp caramelised onions
- Neutral oil, for grilling
Instructions
- 1. Make the Spicy Sauce– Stir mayo, sriracha, mustard, riced pickles and all seasonings in a bowl until smooth. Chill while you cook.
- 2. Cook the Taco Meat– Heat a large skillet over medium-high.– Add mushrooms; cook 3–4 min until most moisture evaporates.– Stir in lentils, walnuts and onion; cook 2 min.– Add soy sauce, tomato sauce, nutritional yeast and all seasonings; simmer 3–4 min, stirring, until thickened. Taste and adjust salt or taco seasoning. Keep warm.
- 3. Prep the Tortillas– Cut one extra tortilla into four wedges. Each triangle is a patch for the centre of a wrap. (If you’re making just one crunch-wrap and want a neater look, cut a 5-inch round instead.)– Microwave the 4 main tortillas for 15 s wrapped in a damp paper towel so they’re flexible.
- 4. Assemble Each Wrap– Lay one warm tortilla flat; place a tortilla triangle patch in the centre, point up.– Stack fillings in a tight 4-inch (10 cm) circle: heaping ½ cup taco meat → 2 Tbsp sauce → tomato → raw onion → cheese → chips → vegan mayo → lettuce → jalapeños → caramelised onions.– Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then keep folding clockwise to create six overlapping flaps (hexagon). Press to seal. Repeat for remaining wraps.
- 5. Grill– Lightly oil a skillet; heat to medium. Place a wrap seam-side down; cook 2–3 min until golden. Flip and brown the other side 2–3 min.
- 6. Serve– Rest 1 min, slice, and enjoy the hot, crunchy goodness!
