Sometimes you just need a wrap that tastes as good as it makes you feel. This version starts with a clean, flavorful plant protein that looks and tastes like turkey but isn’t. The secret? Prime Roots Cracked Pepper Turkey-Inspired Clean Plant Protein.

A new kind of vegan sandwich wrap

Prime Roots invited me to try several of their products, including this cracked pepper “turkey.” It’s made from koji, a type of mold used in making miso, that gives the slices a reasonably meaty texture and a deep, savory note. The cracked pepper seasoning gives it a bump of flavor that plays well with creamy peanut sauce and the crunch of the veggies.

Note: If you’ve got a mold or mushroom allergy, you’ll want to skip this one since koji is a fungus, but for everyone else, it’s an impressive alternative to processed vegan deli slices.

I tried several of the brand’s products, including a really interesting meatless salami. They by no means replicate meat slices but they give a satisfying deli slice flavor to sandwiches and wraps. Prime Roots is carving out an interesting space for clean-label, plant-based proteins that actually taste good and are good for the planet. Check their store locator to find a retailer near you.

How this sandwich supports energy and wellness

This vegan sandwich wrap does more than taste amazing. It’s a smart choice for feeling energized and light. Two of the ingredients are from my 10 best foods for women’s sexual health: peanuts in the sauce and chiles in the wrap.

The peanut sauce adds satisfying creaminess and a dose of libido-friendly nutrients, while fresh jalapeño brings circulation-boosting heat. You can use your favorite bottled peanut sauce for convenience, but if you prefer to make your own, RecipeTin Eats’ Asian Peanut Salad Dressing is a great match.

Because this wrap is built with plant-based protein, fresh veggies, and a tortilla in place of thick slices of bread, it’s lighter than many traditional sandwiches. That means less heaviness after eating, more stable energy through the afternoon and a lower intake of saturated fat—a nutrient we want to minimize for heart health and sexual performance.

It’s an easy way to enjoy a satisfying meal that feels indulgent without weighing you down, so you can feel good in your body and keep your energy and mood steady all day.

Whether you serve it warm or cold, this vegan sandwich wrap is a flavorful way to eat well without feeling deprived.

Why you’ll love this wrap

What you’ll end up with is a quick vegan sandwich wrap that feels indulgent but leaves you energized. The folding technique keeps every bite balanced, and a quick toast in the skillet gives it a golden crunch that’s hard to resist.

Substitutions & customization

One of the best things about this easy sandwich wrap is how adaptable it is. Not a fan of jalapeño? Leave it out or swap for thinly sliced red bell pepper for sweetness instead of heat. Want a different protein? Any firm plant-based slice, tempeh or even smoked tofu can work.

Peanut sauce is the classic pairing here, but feel free to experiment. If you have a peanut allergy, you could try a tahini dressing or try using almond or sunflower butter instead of peanut butter in a homemade peanut sauce.

More filling ideas include adding a little shredded cabbage or shaved radishes. Herbs are flexible, too. Fresh basil or cilantro can replace the mint and scallions for a new flavor profile.

The recipe calls for making it a tortilla wrap, but you could experiment with other wrap breads if that’s your preference. You could also try using a whole wheat tortilla for added nutrition.

Feel free to play with flavors and textures, and you’ll find your perfect version every time.

Serving suggestions and sides

This spicy vegetarian wrap works for lunch, a light dinner or a quick snack. The folding method keeps everything in place, and a quick skillet toast adds a golden, slightly crisp finish. You can pair it with something as simple as a green salad, roasted vegetables or a bowl of tomato soup. Or just eat it on the run as a smart alternative to convenience store or vending machine snacks.

Better yet, pack this veggie wrap in a sexy afternoon picnic for two or make it part of the feast waiting at the end of my Romantic Scavenger Hunt. If you’re looking for a few more recipes to pair with this plant-based sandwich, try:
