Burger, Sandwich, & Wrap Recipes
Simple vegetarian recipes for sandwiches & wraps can be made in minutes! Sandwiches & wraps use healthy ingredients and they are fun to make and to eat. You can bring wraps for lunches or picnics. Here are a few low calorie and vegetarian recipes that I make regularly.
I am also including recipes for vegetarian burgers here. I am much more likely to grill or saute a portobello mushroom as a burger patty instead of going to the trouble to make my own vegetarian burger from scratch.Burgers
Portobello Patty Melt
Prep time: 20 min; Total time: 20 min
I rarely miss meat but I miss patty melts. I tried making my own with a portobello
mushroom, and it was completely scrumptious!
Sandwiches & Wraps
Black Bean Burrito
Prep time: 5 min; Total time: 5 min
This simple vegetarian recipe includes an
impressive list of superfoods: whole grains, tomatoes, spinach, beans, and broccoli sprouts.
Mixed
Baby Greens Wrap
Prep time: 5 minutes; Total time: 5 minutes
Here is a low calorie and vegetarian recipe that can be eaten as a wrap or as a salad.
Tempeh Wasabi Wrap
Prep time: 15 min; Total time: 15 min
This easy vegetarian recipe is an adaptation of my old omnivorous favorite - tuna wasabi
sandwiches. Tempeh is a great source of vegetarian protein.
Vegetarian Doner
Kebab
Prep time: 10 min; Total time: 10 min
I gave up meat the week I got home from a doner binge in Germany... but I didn't give up
doner! Made with seitan, they are lower in fat than the real thing - but they taste
absolutely authentic!
Fruits of Summer Wrap
Prep time: 10 min; Total time: 10 min
Enjoy the fruits of summer in a simple vegetarian wrap recipe using dates, jicama, corn,
and fresh greens. It tastes bright, crisp, fresh, and just a little bit sweet. Perfect for
a summer's day.
Faux Bacon, Lettuce,
and Tomato Wrap
Prep time: 5 min; Total time: 5 min
Unlike the real thing, you can actually count this fake BLT as a health food - it's got
superfoods like whole grains, spinach, tomatoes, and broccoli sprouts, it's low fat, and
it's even relatively high in protein.
Peanut Butter
Molasses Banana Wrap
Prep time: 5 min; Total time: 5 min
The flavor combination of peanut butter with banana and molasses may sound odd, but give
it a go. It's addictive (and healthy).
Deconstructed Egg Salad
Sandwich
Prep time: 5 min; Total time: 20 min
The deconstructed egg salad sandwich is my favorite special at a bakery in the Hillcrest
neighborhood of San Diego. Since I don't live in San Diego, I twisted their arm to tell
me how to make it.
