So now that my oldest has officially gone meat free, and is living as a vegetarian, I’m finding meatless lunches are a little bit (not tons) more challenging to pack. The girl who loved ham and cheese won’t eat the ham anymore and I’m left trying to make sure she’s getting her protein in. She REALLY loves the Black Bean Burger from MorningStar Farms and I was thinking today that I should do something fun with those. So, here you go. A meatless wrap that’s full of flavor and protein and easy to bring for lunch! (We love the Thermos Funtainers- they really truly keep foods quite warm for several hours) Here’s the black bean veggie wrap recipe I came up with for brown bagging days
Ingredients:
Tortilla wrap (we use taco sized)- for my husband, I’d probably use a larger tortilla)
Morningstar Farms Black Bean Burger(s)
Lettuce
Shredded carrots, diced cucumber, sliced pepper (any veggies you want)
Cheese (we did 1T of shredded cheddar)
1T Ranch dressing (if desired- we use a light version)
Directions:
Prepare burger as instructed. (While I was waiting on burger to cook, I warmed the Funtainer with hot water inside of it for 5 minutes)
When burger is cooked, slice into thin strips and spread strips atop wrap.
Add lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, any veggies you’d like ( we don’t do the tomato, she won’t eat them)
Add cheese (shredded or slices- preference rules here!)
Drizzle a little bit of Ranch dressing on top
Fold one end of your wrap up over your food Starting at one side of the tortilla, carefully roll into a nice, tight wrap.
Slice in half and tuck into container to keep warm until lunch. Or, plate and enjoy!
Serve with fresh fruit and extra veggies for a great “brown bag” lunch

My daughter has gone hard core vegan on me. I have so much trouble figuring out what to pack her for lunch. Thanks for the tip.

This looks great! I try to do meatless a couple times a week- trying to get the cholesterol down! I’ll have to try this recipe out!
Liza @ Views From the 'Ville says
Those sound good! I remember that I went vegetarian for a year or so when I was in high school. Turned out to be a phase – I like bacon too much to be a vegetarian!
Amanda Her says
Mmm…that looks so good! It’s almost lunchtime for me now and I WISH I had those ingredients on-hand. Definitely saving this for another day!
Taralyn says

I have tried some Morningstar Farms products but have yet to try this black bean burger.
Susan says
My family loves black beans and wraps so this would be a huge hit with all of us. And what a great lunch box staple.
Nicole Brady says
We always get the Morningstar Farms Tomato & Basil burgers. We have them on buns with pizza sauce. I’ve never tried the black bean ones – let alone adding them to a wrap!
Gabby Homemaker says
Wow! I didn’t even realize that was meatless when I first saw the picture! I’m not a vegetarian but I would totally try this! It looks delicious with those orange wedges next to it!
Terin Garrett says
Yum! That looks delicious!
Jacqueline says
Thanks for posting a vegetarian recipe! I go back and forth with eating meat and it’s so hard to find decent, easy recipes that a a complete meal without meat. Most of the time for wraps it’s just a “normal” wrap minus the eat– this look so yum!
Tess says

Amber Edwards says
Oh those look so amazing! We love spicy and we love wraps. And black beans are the ONLY beans I can eat without ending up sick to my stomach. So I love that too!

We tend to stick to Peanut Butter for meatless lunches over here. My family isn’t very adventurous when it comes to food!
