Savory Crepes are a wholesome, vegan and gluten-free dish filled with healthy vegetables, chickpeas, and a variety of spices. The crispy crepes are stuffed with a flavorful filling of mushrooms, chickpeas, and fresh spinach, perfect for a nutritious lunch or snack.

Ingredients

7 homemade crepes or store-bought tortillas (for a gluten-free option, check out homemade recipe)

½ tbsp oil or water

1 onion, diced

4.5 oz (125 g) mushrooms (fresh or canned)

10 oz (280 g) cooked chickpeas (or one 15 oz can, drained)

1 tsp onion powder

½ tsp ground cumin

½ tsp smoked paprika

½ tbsp soy sauce

Salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 oz (85 g) fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a skillet and sauté diced onion and mushrooms for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add chickpeas, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and soy sauce. Stir well and cook for a few more minutes. Add minced garlic and fresh spinach, and cook for 1–2 more minutes until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse until combined, leaving some texture.
  3. Take one crepe (or tortilla), spoon 1½ to 2 tablespoons of the filling, fold in the sides, and roll it up into a wrap. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
  4. Pan-fry the wraps in a little oil over medium heat, cooking each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with a dipping sauce such as vegan cheese sauce, hot sauce, or homemade hoisin sauce.

Notes

Add more vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or tomatoes to the filling for extra flavor.

Swap spinach for kale or any other leafy green of your choice.

If you don’t have chickpeas, lentils or other beans can be used instead.

These crepes pair well with a variety of sauces, such as vegan cheese sauce, hot sauce, or ketchup.
