Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and black pepper to taste

4 whole wheat wraps or tortillas

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1 cup diced cucumber

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup red onion, thinly sliced

½ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a medium bowl, mash the chickpeas lightly with a fork or potato masher, keeping some whole for texture.

    Sauté the Garlic: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

      Combine Ingredients: Add the mashed chickpeas to the skillet along with the lemon zest, lemon juice, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the chickpeas to absorb the flavors.

        Prepare the Wraps: Lay out the whole wheat wraps on a clean surface. Start by placing a generous amount of the chickpea mixture in the center of each wrap.

          Add Fresh Veggies: Top the chickpea mixture with fresh spinach leaves, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top for added creaminess.

            Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the wrap and roll it from the bottom to secure the filling. Slice the wrap in half diagonally and serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top, if desired.

              Serve and Enjoy: These wraps can be enjoyed warm or cold. They’re perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner!
