Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 ripe avocado (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley), chopped
- 4 whole wheat or corn tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Chickpeas: Drain and rinse canned chickpeas thoroughly. Place them in a mixing bowl and use a fork or potato masher to smash until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky to retain texture.
- Season the Chickpeas: Drizzle olive oil over the smashed chickpeas and add fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to evenly combine the flavors.
- Prepare Fresh Add-ins: Dice the avocado and chop fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley. Gently fold these into the chickpea mixture to add creaminess and freshness.
- Toast the Tortillas: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast each tortilla for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, ensuring a satisfying crunch.
- Assemble the Wrap: Spread a generous amount of chickpea filling on each toasted tortilla. Roll tightly, slice if desired, and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Drain chickpeas thoroughly to prevent soggy wraps.
- Do not over-mash chickpeas; keep some chunkiness for better texture.
- Toast tortillas just before serving to maintain crispiness.
- Taste and adjust seasoning before assembling the wrap.
- Prepare chickpea filling a few hours ahead to deepen flavors.
