Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, thoroughly drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust according to desired spice level)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and black pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat tortillas or wraps

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1 medium avocado, sliced

1/2 cup diced ripe tomatoes

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free alternative)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Optional: hot sauce for an extra kick

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Season the Chickpeas: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss the mixture gently but thoroughly until all chickpeas are evenly coated with the seasoning.

      Roast the Chickpeas: Spread the seasoned chickpeas out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they become crispy and golden brown. To ensure even cooking, shake the baking sheet halfway through the roasting time.

        Make the Yogurt Sauce: While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare the creamy sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt with lemon juice in a small bowl. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. This tangy sauce will enhance the flavor of the wraps.

          Assemble Your Wraps: Once the chickpeas are finished roasting (and have cooled for a few minutes), begin assembling your wraps.

            - Place one whole wheat tortilla on a flat surface and spread a generous layer of the yogurt sauce over it.

              - Top the sauce with a handful of fresh spinach leaves, followed by slices of avocado, diced tomatoes, and finely chopped red onion.

                - Finally, add a scoop of the spicy roasted chickpeas on top, distributing them evenly.

                  Wrap It Up: To form a wrap, fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom up. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

                    Serve: For presentation, slice the wraps in half diagonally, if desired, and serve them with additional yogurt sauce and hot sauce on the side for those who like it spicy. Enjoy your nutritious and flavorful meal!
