Peas are such an underrated vegetable. They are an amazing (and complete) source of plant protein and they are super easy to make. This Green Goddess Wrap with Peas (vegan + high protein) is packed with protein thanks to peas and quinoa and is so good and easy to make.
The filling for this wrap is made in one pan. You can stop there, but I like to air fry my wrap to get it extra crispy.
I love peas. For more yummy pea recipes try my farro and pea salad or my mint pea soup.
