Ingredients

  • Exact same stuffing mixture as Vegan crunch wrap Mixture recipe here

  • 4 Large red bell peppers

  • 1 cup diced cherry tomato (to add to stuffing, instead of a diced bell pepper)

  • Toppings:
  • 30g Sliced avocado

  • Cilantro

  • Lime Juice

  • Chipotle Yogurt Sauce:
  • 175g unsweetened plain yogurt of your choice (I used coconut yogurt)

  • handful of Cilantro (+/-) per your taste

  • 2 La Costena Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce (+/-)

  • 1-2 tsp maple syrup (+/-)

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • Salt per taste

Directions

  • Prepare vegan crunch wrap mixture and set aside. Preheat oven to 400 F. Or use Air fryer to help speed up the cooking process.
  • Cut each bell pepper top, remove seeds and fill it with vegan crunch wrap stuffing. Close bell peppers with their cut out lid on top. Air fry at 400F for 12-15 minutes or bake for 12-15 minutes.
  • While peppers are baking/air frying, prepare yogurt dipping sauce and any additional toppings to add on top.
  • Once peppers are done baking, remove from the oven. Allow them to cool, add yogurt dipping sauce on top along with any other toppings and enjoy.

Notes

  • Please note to keep this meal in low calorie, I omitted cashew sour cream and vegan cheese from the original crunch wrap recipe.
  • **Feel free to add any additional toppings on top but keep in mind calories of this meal will increase.
