Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons harissa paste (adjust according to your spice tolerance)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

1 large ripe avocado, sliced

1 cup mixed greens (choose from spinach, arugula, or lettuce)

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cucumber, thinly sliced

4 large whole wheat or spinach wraps

Fresh lemon juice (for drizzling)

Optional: Fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley) for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Chickpeas: In a medium bowl, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas with harissa paste, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Using a fork or a potato masher, carefully mash the chickpeas until they are partially broken, ensuring to keep some whole chickpeas for textural contrast.

    Heat the Mixture: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chickpea mixture to the skillet and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the mixture frequently until it becomes heated through and slightly crispy. Once done, remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

      Assemble the Wraps: On a clean surface, lay the whole wheat or spinach wraps flat. Begin stacking each wrap with a generous handful of mixed greens, several slices of avocado, a scoop of the smoky chickpea mixture, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced cucumber.

        Drizzle and Roll: Lightly drizzle fresh lemon juice over the fillings and sprinkle on fresh herbs if desired. Fold in the sides of the wrap to prevent spillage, then roll the wrap tightly from the bottom up to securely enclose the fillings.

          Serve: To serve, slice each wrap in half diagonally for easier handling or wrap them in foil or parchment paper for a portable lunch option. Enjoy your delicious Smoky Harissa Chickpea Wraps right away!
