These Gluten-Free Vegan Wraps are super easy to make, flexible and bendy, and perfectly chewy. They're also yeast-free, and a good source of protein and fibre.
Why you'll love these Gluten-Free Vegan Wraps:
- They're undetectably gluten-free and vegan
- They're yeast-free and there's no kneading or proving required
- They're nutritious and filling
- They're not dry and crumbly and don't fall apart
- They're perfect for a quick, healthy and satisfying lunch
- They taste great with a range of different savoury fillings - and even sweet ones too
- They work not only as wraps, but also as tortillas or flatbread.
And if that's not enough to convince you, they're super low-maintenance to make, too.
How to make this recipe
These wraps require just 3 ingredients (not including water or salt):
- Chickpea flour - which has a nutty flavour and creates a perfectly chewy texture
- Rice flour - which balances out the slightly heavier chickpea flour and keeps the wraps light
- Tapioca flour - which acts as a binding agent and keeps the wraps flexible and bendy
These wraps are great plain, but I love to add some greens powder to the batter, as it not only adds a beautiful colour and an earthy flavour, but is a fun way to get some extra nutrients.
Helpful tips for making this recipe:
- It's important that the batter is mixed well and that there are no clumps. The best way to do this is to mix everything together in a large glass mixing bowl using a balloon whisk.
- Make sure you use a measuring jug to measure out the amount of water exactly - too much water will make the wraps too thin and too little will make them too thick.
- Use a ladle as this will allow you to carefully pour the batter into the pan - too little batter will make the wraps easy to fall apart and hard to flip over, and too much will make them too thick and easy to break apart.
- You must use a non-stick frying pan so that the wraps don't stick to the bottom of the frying pan!
- Control the amount of oil you use by using a spray-on oil or rubbing a piece of greased kitchen paper over the bottom of the frying pan - too much oil will make the wraps ragged at the edges, and too little will make them hard to flip over.
- Use a spatula to flip over the wraps - you'll know when to flip them over when the edges of the wraps come away from the pan.
- Cook them on a low to medium heat - too low and they'll take ages to cook and turn out rubbery, too high and they'll burn easily.
In this photo here, I filled my wrap with Chickpea Curry Salad as I love the combination of the creamy, nutty texture and spicy, salty-sweet flavours, but you can easily use lots of different fillings!
Fillings you can use
- Vegan White Bean "Tuna" Salad
- Chickpea Mayonnaise Salad
- Vegan "Egg" Mayonnaise Salad
- Lazy Falafel
- Mexican Tofu Scramble
- Chickpea Caesar Salad
How long do these Gluten-Free Vegan Wraps keep for?
These wraps do taste best freshly made, but keep covered in the fridge for a couple of days. They're best reheated in a dry frying pan, which ensures they keep their texture.
Can you freeze these?
Yes. Just make sure to freeze them with a layer of baking paper in between each wrap if you want to take them out one at a time!

Gluten-Free Vegan Wraps
Ingredients
- 150 g (1 ¼ cups) chickpea (gram) flour
- 150 g (1 ¼ cups) rice flour
- 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
- Pinch salt to taste
- 500 ml (2 cups + 2 tablespoons) water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for frying (or coconut, rapeseed or olive oil)
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and use a whisk to mix it well and get rid of the clumps
- Heat up a tiny bit of oil in a non-stick frying pan - you don't want to use too much so I would advise using a spray-on oil or rubbing a greased paper towel across the surface of the frying pan
- Use a ladle to put a small amount of the batter into the frying pan - swirl the batter around the bottom of the pan until it's evenly distributed
- Cook on a low-medium heat for a couple of minutes until the edges of the wrap
- Flip over with a spatula and cook for another couple of minutes on the other side
- Place on a plate and repeat until you use up the rest of the batter - make sure you grease the pan each time (makes around 10 wraps in total)
- Serve stuffed with desired fillings
- Leftovers keeps well covered in the fridge for up to a couple of days - reheating them in a dry frying pan ensures they keep their texture
Notes
- It's important that the batter is mixed well and that there are no clumps. The best way to do this is to mix everything together using a balloon whisk.
- Using too little batter at a time will make the wraps easy to fall apart and hard to flip over, and too much will make them too thick and easy to break apart.
- Use a non-stick frying pan so that the wraps don't stick to the bottom of the frying pan.
- Too much oil will make the wraps ragged at the edges, and too little will make them hard to flip over.
- You'll know when to flip them over when the edges of the wraps come away from the pan.
- Cook them on a low to medium heat - too low and they'll take ages to cook and turn out rubbery, too high and they'll burn easily.

These were easy to make but I really dislike the taste of chickpea flour, can it be replaced with another flour?

Sure you could use this recipe instead! https://www.rhiansrecipes.com/crepes/

With your Gluten free and vegan wraps. I have bought gluten free all purpose flour which I have noticed is rice flour. Can I use this instead of going to get chickpea flour, and tapioca flour and still follow your instructions. As I am not newly vegan but new to gluten free and have noticed a lot of difference in my abdominal health.

Thank you so much for your question! Unfortunately, using chickpea flour in this recipe is needed for the texture and to hold them together. You can alternatively use my buckwheat crepes recipe: https://www.rhiansrecipes.com/buckwheat-crepes/ or my coconut flour crepes recipe: https://www.rhiansrecipes.com/crepes/ Hope that helps!!
