Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

4 large whole wheat or spinach wraps

1 cup fresh spinach or mixed greens

1 small cucumber, diced

1 medium tomato, diced

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup tahini sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro) for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant but not browned. Next, stir in the drained and rinsed chickpeas, lemon zest, lemon juice, cumin, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, gently stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are warmed through and start to become slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Assemble the Wraps: Lay each wrap flat on a clean, dry surface such as a cutting board or countertop. Begin by spreading a generous layer of tahini sauce evenly in the center of each wrap.

      Add Greens and Veggies: On top of the tahini sauce, layer a handful of fresh spinach or mixed greens. Then, spoon the garlic lemon chickpea mixture evenly over the greens. Follow this with an equal distribution of diced cucumber, diced tomato, and thin slices of red onion.

        Roll It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of each wrap to contain the fillings, then roll it tightly from the bottom edge upwards towards the top, ensuring all the delicious ingredients are securely inside. Repeat this step for all wraps.

          Serve: For an appealing presentation, slice each wrap in half diagonally and arrange them on a platter. Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped herbs on top, and serve with additional tahini sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy these flavorful and refreshing wraps!
