Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

4 whole grain wraps or tortillas

1 cup fresh spinach or mixed salad greens

1 avocado, sliced

1 medium tomato, diced

½ cucumber, sliced

¼ cup hummus (optional, for spreading)

Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure a hot environment for roasting the chickpeas to perfection.

    Prepare the Chickpeas: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas with the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, and season generously with salt and pepper. Use a spoon or your hands to toss the chickpeas until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

      Roast the Chickpeas: Transfer the seasoned chickpeas onto a baking sheet, spreading them out into a single layer. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for about 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking. They should become golden brown and crispy.

        Assemble the Wraps: While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare the wraps. Lay out the whole grain wraps or tortillas flat on a clean surface. If desired, spread a layer of hummus evenly across each wrap for added creaminess.

          Layer the Ingredients: On top of each wrap, add a handful of fresh spinach or mixed salad greens. Follow this by arranging slices of avocado, diced tomatoes, and cucumber slices. Finally, top everything off with a generous scoop of the roasted chickpeas for a hearty filling.

            Roll and Slice: Carefully roll each wrap tightly, beginning at one edge and tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice each wrap in half for easy serving.

              Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing each wrap with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for a burst of flavor and color. These wraps can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, making them a versatile dish for any occasion.
