When you’re planning meals for your van trip, you want to make something that’s as easy to throw together as possible. You’re working with limited space and no oven - so while you’re living the van life, you’re better off putting away your fancy foodie cookbooks for the time being.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t eat well! Our vans’ inclusive equipment encompasses everything you need to make tasty, healthy food.
And we thought we’d let you in on one of our FAVE Van Life recipes - quick and easy wraps that make for a delicious addition to your in-van menu.
THE SIMPLE PAIRING OF INGREDIENTS IN WRAPS CAN BE EASILY CUSTOMISED, ADAPTING TO THE PREFERENCES OF YOUR FAMILY. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS! TAKE THE CORE WRAP INGREDIENTS AND APPLY THEM TO YOUR FAVOURITE TASTE COMBINATIONS BY FOLLOWING OUR VAN LIFE RECIPES.
Wraps
Wraps can be a great choice as they require minimal preparation time during the van trip, where ingredients can be laid out for individual preparation by all members of the group. We have the perfect wrap recipes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Veggie Wraps
Planning on heading out for a lengthy day tramp and searching for the perfect packed lunch? Veggie wraps are a favourite of ours as they are packable, light, and easily customisable.
Ingredients (serves 2)
2 tortilla wraps (large)
1/2 avocado (sliced)
4 slices cucumber (sliced lengthwise)
Shredded carrot
Fresh spinach leaves (handful)
Broccoli sprouts
Lettuce
Sliced tomato
Basil leaves (if desired)
2/3 cup hummus
Method
Lay out the wrap and spread the hummus on the bottom ⅓ of the wrap, spreading out the side edges.
Layer the spinach leaves and lettuce, carrot, tomato slices, cucumber, avocado, sprouts, and basil.
Fold the tortilla wrap tightly, tucking in the contents with the initial roll and then rolling firmly to the end. Feel free to cut it in half and enjoy.
It’s as simple as that! This wrap is vegan and serves 2, so increase the quantities as required. Make the wrap even more flavourful by adding your favourite flavoured tortilla or dressing, such as Thousand Island dressing.
Chicken Salad Wrap
Modify our original veggie tortilla wrap recipe to discover a delicious chicken salad wrap meal. You can tailor this meal to your own taste preferences, including or omitting as much of the veggie wrap recipe to your liking. While cooking the chicken adds a bit of preparation time, it’s worth it for a memorable meal.
Cut your chicken into roughly 1-inch pieces. Switch out the hummus for chicken pieces and add a sauce of your choice. Pack in more flavour by adding a generous amount of grated cheese to the wrap!
Tip: chicken thighs are the most succulent, perfect for the chicken salad wrap.
This meal can be enjoyed under our high-quality Sunseeker Awning, a product from our optional equipment range.
Breakfast Burritos
The simple grab-and-go breakfast which is always a hit when you have adventuring planned. These are often a hit with kids because they feature favourite breakfast foods as ingredients for each wrap, like eggs, bacon, and hash browns. See the meat version or try the vegetarian/vegan option.
