• 6 spinach tortillas: Their bright green color is eye-catching and their soft pliability makes them perfect for rolling.

• 3 carrots: Sweet and crunchy, they add a bold orange pop and loads of crunch.
• 3 stalks celery: Crisp and refreshing, their gentle green color and fresh taste add balance to the mix.

• 1 whole yellow bell pepper: Like a burst of sunshine, yellow peppers are sweet, juicy, and brighten up every bite.
• ½ head red cabbage: Slightly peppery, with a gorgeous deep purple that brings the rainbow together.
• 1 whole cucumber: Cool, crisp, and hydrating, cucumber ties together the flavors and adds a wonderful snap.

• ¼ teaspoon sea salt: Just a hint to bring out all the natural veggie flavors and balance the creamy filling.

Variations

The beauty of Vegan Veggie Rainbow Wraps is just how easy they are to personalize! Use whatever is fresh in your fridge or swap in your favorite veggies and flavor boosts to suit your own taste or dietary needs.

• Grain-Free Wraps: Use large collard green or romaine lettuce leaves instead of tortillas for a lighter, gluten-free option.
• Spicy Kick: Add thinly sliced jalapeño or a layer of your favorite hot sauce mixed into the vegan cream cheese.
• Extra Protein: Layer in smoked tofu strips or chickpea salad for a more filling, protein-rich wrap.
• Sushi-Style Rolls: Go fancy and roll your wrap sushi-style as described in the notes—perfect for party platters!

How to Make Vegan Veggie Rainbow Wraps

Step 1: Prep the Veggies

Start by giving all your veggies a good wash and gently towel-drying them for the best texture. Peel the carrots and cucumber if desired, remove seeds from the peppers, and then slice every veggie into thin, even strips—this ensures you get that perfect colorful cross-section in every bite.

Step 2: Herb-Up the Cream Cheese

Mince your chosen fresh herbs (I adore the classic combo of chives and dill) and stir them into the vegan cream cheese along with a sprinkle of sea salt. This herbed spread is what gives Vegan Veggie Rainbow Wraps their luscious, flavor-packed base.

Step 3: Assemble and Roll

Lay out one spinach tortilla on a dry cutting board. Spread a thin, even layer of the herbed cream cheese all the way to within an inch of the edge. Neatly arrange a handful of each veggie strip across the center in pretty rainbow rows. Roll the wrap up snugly, using more cream cheese to seal the edge if needed.

Step 4: Slice and Serve

Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled wrap into 3-inch pieces, trimming off the ends if you want a uniform look. Repeat the process with the rest of the tortillas and veggies, and arrange your cheery little wraps on a serving platter or board. That’s it—simply gorgeous!

How to Serve Vegan Veggie Rainbow Wraps

Garnishes

A sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, a dash of sesame seeds, or a generous grind of black pepper takes your Vegan Veggie Rainbow Wraps to the next level. For special occasions, edible flowers or microgreens look absolutely breathtaking nestled on top of each colorful pinwheel.

Side Dishes

These wraps are fantastic alongside a simple green salad, a cup of soup, or a crisp veggie slaw. I especially love serving them with a tangy vegan dip—think avocado basil dressing or hummus for extra creaminess and flavor.

Creative Ways to Present

Arrange the wraps in a rainbow arc on a wooden board for a party-ready platter or pop them upright into a bento box for a playful lunch. Or roll them sushi-style with parchment and twine for individual hand-held treats—sure to wow guests and kids alike.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover Vegan Veggie Rainbow Wraps in an airtight container lined with a paper towel to keep them crisp. They’ll stay fresh and delicious for up to two days in the refrigerator—perfect for meal prep or a grab-and-go snack!

Freezing

Freezing is not recommended for these wraps, as the fresh vegetables can become watery and lose their signature crunch when thawed. For best results, enjoy them freshly made or well-chilled from the fridge.

Reheating

No reheating needed—just grab and eat! If assembling ahead, let the wraps come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best flavor and texture.
