Ingredients

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat or spinach wraps

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1 medium avocado, sliced

1 medium tomato, diced

½ cup red onion, thinly sliced

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

½ cup tahini sauce or your favorite dressing (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chickpeas are well coated.

Roast the Chickpeas: Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are crispy and golden, tossing halfway through the cooking time.

Warm the Wraps: While the chickpeas are roasting, warm the wraps in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.

Assemble the Wraps: Once the chickpeas are ready, remove them from the oven. On each wrap, layer fresh spinach leaves, roasted chickpeas, sliced avocado, diced tomato, red onion, and chopped cilantro.

Drizzle with Sauce: If you like, drizzle tahini sauce or your favorite dressing over the fillings for extra flavor.

Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of each wrap inwards and then roll from the bottom up, enclosing the fillings securely.

Serve: Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for a delicious on-the-go meal!
