Ingredients
Scale
- For the Wrap:
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- For the Chickpea Filling:
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Avocado Spread:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt to taste
- For the Vegetables:
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, combine the chickpeas, olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the chickpea mixture on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown, stirring halfway through.
- While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare the avocado spread by mashing the avocados in a bowl and mixing in lime juice and salt.
- Once the chickpeas are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- To assemble the wraps, spread a generous layer of avocado on each tortilla, then add a layer of shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and roasted chickpeas.
- Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top, then roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling.
- Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for later.
