How To Reduce The Calories

If you’d like to reduce the calories of this recipe even further, I suggest removing the mayonnaise and dry frying the wrap without oil.

If you would like to increase the calories for anybody who is going to be eating a serving of this recipe, I suggest you serve them a bigger portion of a side dish.

Crunchwrap burgers keep for up to 4 days in the fridge in an air-tight container. They also freeze well for up to 3 months.  Defrost it before using it. Reheat it by warming it up in an air fryer or oven.

Garnish With

Instructions

 

• Lay out a tortilla wrap. Spread the vegan mayonnaise on the middle of the wrap. Place the burger on top. Add the onion, gherkins or jalapenos, red pepper, and finally the cheese. The cheese must go on last to bind and seal the wrap closed.
• Choose whether to pan fry, air fry, or oven bake and follow the instructions below.

Pan Fry

• Pre-heat a pan on a medium heat and add a few sprays of olive oil.
• Fold the edges of the tortilla around the fillings. Quickly turn it upside down (open side face down - see video) and tuck in the edges of the wrap under itself. Press down with a spatula for a minute.
• After 1-2 minutes the cheese will melt and will seal the wrap shut. Small gluten free wraps can make this process feel a bit messy, but it will still look and taste delicious once it’s done. When the wrap starts to brown it is done on that side.
• Turn the wrap over and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.

Air Fry

• Fold the edges of the tortilla around the fillings, then wrap it in kitchen foil. Place it in the basket.
• Bake it for 5 minutes at 200C/400C until the cheese has melted and sealed the wrap closed. At this point you can remove it from the foil and add it back into the air fryer for 1-2 minutes on each side to brown the outside of the wrap.

Oven Bake

• Fold the edges of the tortilla around the fillings, then wrap it in kitchen foil. Add it to a baking tray.
• Bake it for 10 minutes at 200C/400C until the cheese has melted and sealed the wrap closed. At this point you can remove it from the foil and add it back into the oven for 1-2 minutes on each side to brown the outside of the wrap.
• Cut the Crunchwrap in half to serve. Serve with some fries. I like to use my own homemade fries.
• Grind some black pepper on everything to garnish.

Black Bean Burger Recipe

• Add the canned black beans, onion, oats, burger seasoning, Italian seasoning, and salt to a food processor. Process until you can form a ball that sticks together. Don’t over-process. Scrape down the sides and stir.
• Divide the mixture into 4. Roll each batch into a ball, then push down to flatten it into a burger shape.
• Cook your burgers using one of the following options:
• Fry: You can fry them on a medium heat, in a non-stick pan with or without oil, turning them until they are golden on all sides. I like to use an oil spray for fewer calories.
• Air Fryer: Spray a little oil spray on the bottom of your air fryer. Place the burgers in the air fryer basket and spray them with a little oil spray. Cook at 200C/ 400F for 5-10 minutes. Turn them over after 5 minutes. Check on them frequently.
• Oven: Add your burgers to a non-stick baking tray, spray them with oil, and bake them at 200C/ 400F for 15-20 minutes until they are golden.

Homemade French Fries

• Peel and slice the potatoes into strips shaped like french fries.
• Place the sliced potatoes on an oven tray or fryer basket.
• Sprinkle the salt and seasoning over the potatoes. Alternatively, you can add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix to fully incorporate.
• To Bake: preheat the oven to 425°F/ 220°C and bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes in total (turning after 10 minutes) until they are charred on the corners.
• To Air Fry: set the temperature of your air fryer to 425°F/ 220°C and bake in the air fryer for 10 to 20 minutes(shaking the basket after 10 minutes) until they are charred on the corners.
