Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (can substitute with dairy-free yogurt)

1/4 cup pesto (homemade or store-bought)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat tortillas or wraps

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup sliced cucumbers

Optional: crumbled feta cheese or nutritional yeast for sprinkling on top

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpea Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to lightly mash the drained chickpeas. Aim to keep some chickpeas whole to provide texture in your wraps.

    Mix the Creamy Base: To the mashed chickpeas, add the Greek yogurt, pesto, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir all ingredients together until the mixture is smooth, well combined, and creamy.

      Prepare the Wraps: Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Evenly distribute the chickpea mixture down the center of each tortilla, forming a line that stretches from end to end.

        Layer the Vegetables: On top of the chickpea mixture, add a generous amount of fresh spinach leaves, followed by the shredded carrots, halved cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices for a refreshing crunch.

          Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the two sides of each tortilla, then roll from the bottom up, ensuring the filling is tucked securely inside. If needed, use toothpicks to secure the wrap in place.

            Serve: You can slice each wrap in half for easier handling or serve them whole. For a delightful finishing touch, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese or nutritional yeast on top, if desired. Enjoy your delicious wraps immediately or wrap them in parchment paper for a convenient meal on-the-go!
