beating the fast food cravings

I've only been eating and cooking vegetarian for about 10 months now, so sometimes I get cravings for certain fast food things I used to eat when I was a meat eater. Namely the snack wraps at McDonalds. Gross, I know, but I was on the go a lot and there was a McDonalds right off the freeway near my old apartment.



Late for work? Grab a snack wrap! Going out and need some food? Snack wrap. After doing some grocery shopping the other day I figured out, that yep, I had the thing ingredients to make myself a "snack wrap" at home and I was pretty over joyed. It turned out pretty good and you can make it as simply or as complicated as you want. This recipe isn't Vegan, but it is entirely meat free.

What you'll need:

1-Morning Star Chikn Fingers (or another brand. I tricked my meat eating boyfriend with these though.)

2-Package of flour tortillas (or corn if you prefer)

3- Shredded cheese

4-Lettuce and whatever veggies you would like to throw in

5-Sauce of your choice. I made mine with honey mustard

What you do:

If you're looking to duplicate the McDonalds style snack wrap, you'll need one chikn strip per wrap. These can be microwaved, but honestly I prefer mine baked in the oven, it gives the faux chicken a crispier texture.

After your chikn is cooked, warm up your tortilla. Add the sauce of your choice, sprinkle in the lettuce and veggies and cheese. Add chickn piece and viola, you have something fast and easy, that you might miss if you're a recent vegetarian. Good drunken munchie food.

Also as an alternative, if you're a former Jack in the Box devotee, I suggest constructing your snack wrap in a pita to mimic their newest little "healthy" choice for the menu.
