Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Zest and juice of 1 large lemon

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cucumber, diced

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped

4 whole wheat or spinach wraps

1/2 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

Optional toppings: crumbled feta cheese, sliced avocado, mixed greens

Instructions
 

In a medium skillet over medium heat, pour in the olive oil and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, which will ensure a pleasant flavor without bitterness.

    Incorporate the drained chickpeas into the skillet along with the lemon zest, lemon juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir well to ensure the chickpeas are evenly coated, then cook for approximately 5-7 minutes. Keep stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are warmed through and develop a slightly crispy exterior.

      While the chickpeas are cooking, prepare the fresh vegetable mixture. In a medium bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped parsley. Toss them together gently with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper to enhance the freshness of the veggies.

        Take one wrap and spread a generous layer of hummus right across the center. This creamy layer will be the flavorful base for your wrap.

          On top of the hummus, add a portion of the garlic lemon chickpeas, ensuring an even spread. Next, layer the fresh veggie mixture on top for a crunchy texture.

            If desired, sprinkle some optional toppings such as crumbled feta cheese, sliced avocado, or a handful of mixed greens to add extra flavor and nutrition.

              To assemble the wrap, carefully roll it tightly starting from one edge, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling. Once rolled, slice the wrap in half diagonally for easy handling.

                Serve the wraps immediately for the best taste, or wrap each one individually in foil for a convenient on-the-go lunch option.
