Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 large roasted red pepper, diced (store-bought or homemade)

1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted

2 tablespoons tahini

1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

4 large whole grain tortillas or wraps

1 cup fresh spinach or mixed greens

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional for added flavor)

Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro), for garnishing

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpea Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to coarsely mash the drained chickpeas. Aim for a mix of textures - some chickpeas should remain intact for a satisfying bite.

    Add Flavor: Incorporate the diced roasted red pepper into the mashed chickpeas. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper until the mixture is smooth. Pour this dressing over the chickpea and roasted red pepper mix. Stir thoroughly to combine and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper as necessary.

      Make the Avocado Spread: In a separate bowl, mash the avocado until it reaches a creamy consistency. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, adjusting to your taste preference.

        Assemble the Wraps: On a clean surface, place each whole grain tortilla. Spread a generous layer of the creamy mashed avocado evenly over each tortilla, making sure to leave about an inch of space from the edges to facilitate wrapping.

          Add the Filling: Spoon a healthy portion of the chickpea and roasted red pepper mixture directly on top of the avocado spread. Then, layer a handful of fresh spinach or mixed greens on top. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and fresh herbs over the filling for enhanced flavor and color.

            Wrap It Up: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll the tortilla from the bottom to the top, securely encasing the filling within. Ensure the ends are tucked in for a neat wrap.

              Serve or Store: Cut the wraps in half diagonally to serve. They can be enjoyed immediately or can be wrapped in foil and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, making them perfect for a convenient lunch or snack on the go.
