Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup tahini

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 garlic clove, finely minced

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (or vegan alternative)

1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt for a vegan option

2 cups fresh romaine lettuce, chopped

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for a vegan option

4 whole wheat or spinach wraps

Optional toppings: halved cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, crispy croutons

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpea Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and salt. Using a fork or a potato masher, gently mash the chickpeas until they are mostly broken down but still retain a bit of texture for a delightful bite.

    Mix in the Yogurt: Carefully fold the Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt) into the mashed chickpea mixture until the blend is creamy and well incorporated. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding extra salt, pepper, or lemon juice based on your preference.

      Assemble the Wraps: Place the whole wheat or spinach wraps on a clean, flat surface. Evenly spread the creamy chickpea mixture along the center of each wrap, leaving approximately an inch of space around the edges to facilitate easy folding.

        Add the Greens: Generously layer the chopped romaine lettuce over the chickpea mixture, finishing with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for a rich, tangy flavor.

          Incorporate Optional Toppings: Enhance your wraps with an array of optional toppings such as halved cherry tomatoes, creamy avocado slices, or crunchy croutons for added textures and flavors.

            Wrap it Up: Begin by folding in the sides of the wrap to encase the filling, then roll the wrap from the bottom up while ensuring to keep it tight for a secure closure.

              Serve: Utilize a sharp knife to cut each wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately, optionally alongside additional dressing or your preferred dipping sauce. Enjoy your delicious, protein-packed meal!
