1large portobello mushroomsstem and gills removed, then sliced
½onionsliced
½red bell peppersliced
1tbspbalsamic vinegar
1tbspsoy sauce
1tbspmaple syrup
½tspdried oregano
For the wrap
1large tortilla wrapsburrito size
2-4 tbsphummus or vegan mayo
½cupbaby spinach or lettuce
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables (portobello, red pepper and onion) and warm up a large pan with a little olive oil. Then, add the vegetables to the pan (space them out) and cook on medium-high heat for about 5-8 minutes or until tender yet still underdone.
While the veggies are cooking, combine in a small bowl the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup and oregano. Once the veggies are mostly done cooking, pour the sauce over the pan (careful for the splashes) and stir to coat the veggies. Let them simmer stirring once in a while until it forms a thicker glaze (you want to cook off the extra moisture), then remove from the heat.
Lay a large burrito wrap on a clean surface and spread hummus all over it. Add a handful of spinach and then transfer the veggies over. Fold each side over the filling ingredients, then grab the bottom part and keep rolling all the way up while tucking the ingredients nicely inside.
OPTIONAL: Warm up a small pan with a small amount of oil (I like using oil spray) and then, grill or pan-fry the wrap on each side until golden brown. Slice in half and enjoy!

Notes
Portobello mushrooms release lots of liquid when cooking, so once you add the sauce to the pan, make sure to keep cooking until most of the moisture has evaporated. This will help your sandwich be soggy!
Try to keep the vegetables crunchy. To help with that, slice them on the thicker side and consider adding them to the pan a few minutes after the mushrooms.
This recipe makes for one mushroom wrap, but you can easily double the recipe!
Wait until right before serving to slice the wrap in half, since some of the juicy sauce might squeeze out. If you bring this sandwich on the go to enjoy later in the day, then I would recommend not slicing it and keeping it in wrapping paper.
