I’ve mentioned before that I feel my best when I eat a plant-rich diet.
I always try to do Meatless Monday and usually make a few extra days of the week meatless as well.
When I first started doing this, it seemed complicated and overwhelming.
Over the years I have learned that it is so easy to choose plant-based foods without giving up taste, convenience, or quality.
This week I made these Southwestern Veggie Wraps for the family, and they were a huge hit. It was the perfect meal because we had been running around all day and I didn’t have time for a lot of fuss.
Luckily I had Birds Eye® Steamfresh® Southwest Style Protein Blends, Gardein™ Seven Grain Crispy Tenders, and Earth Balance® Original Buttery Spread on hand.
With just a few additional ingredients, I had dinner on the table in a flash!
I am all about easy dinners, and this one was so simple!
If you have been around here long, you know that the whole family has been a fan of Gardein vegan products for years. In addition to the Seven Grain Crispy Tenders, they have a full line of plant-based products that you will love. It may sound crazy, but to me, they taste better than the real thing.
Gardein products are made from ingredients like non-GMO soy, wheat and pea proteins, vegetables and ancient grains (quinoa, amaranth, millet and kamut®) to name a few. They are free of cholesterol, trans and saturated fats.
I love Birds Eye Steamfresh Protein Blends. They offer up 10 grams of plant-based protein per serving. It is the perfect way to get nutrition on the table in no-time!
Another great option is Birds Eye Steamfresh Superfood Blends, which are ready-to-go dishes made from nutrient-rich veggies, grains, and fruits. They have no artificial flavors and are an excellent source of antioxidants.
Earth Balance Buttery Spreads are the perfect thing to keep in your dairy-free arsenal. Not only is it vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free, it also has 0g trans-fat, no MSG, and is non-GMO. An excellent source of ALA Omega 3, this creamy spreadable texture and rich butter taste are perfect to spread on toast.
Where Can I Find Birds Eye, Earth Balance, and Gardein?
- Birds Eye is located within the frozen vegetable section
- Earth Balance is located in the butters/spreads section
- Gardein is found in the frozen/naturals section.

Being a vegetarian, this fits just right in my menu plan. Love all the flavors!!
I totally need to try this – I saw it on your Instagram and was like YES this is a wrap I need to try (which doesn’t normally happen with veggie ones) so thank you!
Thes look so good. I just love the extra grilling part that leaves grill lines.
I’m sold. When can I come for dinner. LOL, I love easy meals and gosh, if corn is on the menu, I’m happy! Looks awesome!
You have added two of my favorite things in these wraps: avocado and cheese. The wraps sound delicious, even if they don’t have meat in them. I like to eat meatless from time to time as well.
I never realized how easy it was to go meatless until recently. I actually realized that a lot of our meals were already meatless.
This veggie wrap looks amazing for lunch. I’ve been trying to cutback on meat and it’s recipes like this that make it easy!
Wow, this is so perfect! I like vegetarian food!
I wanna try this amazing food that veggie wrap is my favorite food. It seem to me “watering mouth” and your veggie reviews and photos are really cool. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I always try to follow your recipes.
