Goodwiches
Goodwiches are flavorful vegetarian wraps featuring crisp beef slices, fresh vegetables, and creamy mayonnaise, perfect for a quick, satisfying lunch or snack for veggie lovers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread mayonnaise on each flour tortilla.
- Place small amounts of shredded lettuce, bean sprouts, sliced bell peppers, sautéed onions, and sliced avocado on the tortillas.
- Add the sautéed vegetarian beef slices last.
- Close one end of the tortilla, fold it over, then roll up tightly to form a wrap.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using a spicy mayonnaise or adding a dash of lime juice to the avocado. You can substitute the vegetarian beef slices with grilled chicken or even tempeh for a different texture. If you prefer more crunch, try adding shredded carrots or cucumbers. These goodwiches can be easily customized to suit your taste preferences or dietary needs.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these goodwiches with a side of tortilla chips and salsa for a complete meal. They pair beautifully with a refreshing salad or a cold beverage like iced tea. For a fun gathering, consider serving them alongside other American recipes, such as Caterbury Sandwiches or Block Party Bean Bake, to create a diverse spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover goodwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, unwrap and place them on a grill pan or skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until warmed through. This helps restore some crispiness without making them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make goodwiches ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the fillings ahead of time and assemble the goodwiches just before serving to keep the tortillas crisp. Store the ingredients separately in the fridge for the best texture. Alternatively, you can wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate, but consume them within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
What can I substitute for vegetarian beef slices?
You can swap vegetarian beef slices for grilled chicken, turkey slices, or even a mix of sautéed mushrooms and tempeh for a heartier option. Alternatively, go for a plant-based protein like chickpeas or lentils seasoned with your favorite spices to maintain a healthy and satisfying filling.
How can I make these spicy?
To add some heat, mix in diced jalapeños or sliced serrano peppers into the filling. Alternatively, you can use a spicy sauce or add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the mayonnaise. Adjust the spice level according to your taste to ensure a delicious balance.
