Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

Juice of 1 lemon

4 large whole wheat or spinach wraps

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup tahini sauce or yogurt (for drizzling)

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Roast the Chickpeas: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, spread the drained chickpeas out in a single layer. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with cumin, turmeric, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Toss to coat evenly.

    Bake the Chickpeas: Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chickpeas are golden and crispy, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even roasting.

      Prepare the Wraps: While the chickpeas are roasting, gather your wraps and lay them out flat on a clean surface.

        Assemble the Wraps: Once the chickpeas are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Start layering on each wrap: add a handful of fresh spinach, a few halved cherry tomatoes, some red onion slices, and a few pieces of avocado.

          Add Chickpeas and Sauce: Spoon a generous portion of the roasted chickpeas on top of the fresh ingredients in each wrap. Drizzle your choice of tahini sauce or yogurt over the chickpeas, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley for added flavor.

            Wrap it Up: Fold the sides of the wrap inwards, then roll from the bottom up to create a tight wrap. Secure it with a toothpick if needed.

              Serve: Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately with extra tahini sauce or yogurt for dipping.
