Enjoy making them your own! First, gather your ingredients for the chickpea filling. You need one can of chickpeas. Drain and rinse the chickpeas well. In a mixing bowl, mash them lightly with a fork. Leave some whole for texture. This adds a nice bite to your filling. Next, heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. When the oil is warm, add the mashed chickpeas. Then, sprinkle in one teaspoon of smoked paprika and one teaspoon of ground cumin. For a kick, add half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Adjust the spice to your taste. Don’t forget salt and pepper for flavor. Stir everything well to combine. Cook for about 5-7 minutes. This step allows the spices to infuse the chickpeas. You want a warm, bold mixture. Once done, remove it from heat and set it aside. Now, it's time to assemble your wrap. Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side. This makes them soft and easy to roll. Spread a layer of tahini sauce or hummus on each tortilla. This adds creaminess and flavor. Place a handful of baby spinach in the center of each tortilla. Then, add a generous scoop of your spicy chickpea mixture. Next, layer on sliced avocado, shredded carrots, and thinly sliced red onion. Fold in the sides of the tortilla. Roll it tightly from the bottom up, encasing all the fillings. Cut each wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately for the best taste. To make your wraps even tastier, use fresh ingredients. Fresh herbs like cilantro can add a burst of flavor. If you like more heat, adjust the cayenne pepper in the chickpea mixture. Warming the tortillas helps prevent tearing. If you have leftover filling, store it in the fridge. It keeps well for a few days. You can use it in salads or on toast. Try adding different spices to the chickpea mix. A little curry powder can give a fun twist. Making wraps is all about creativity, so have fun with it! For the complete recipe, check out our [Full Recipe]. To mash chickpeas well, start by draining and rinsing them. Use a fork or potato masher to lightly mash them. I like to leave some whole for texture. This gives your wrap a nice bite. If you want a creamier filling, you can mash more. Just don’t overdo it; you want some chunks. To keep your wraps intact, warm your tortillas first. Place them in a dry skillet for a minute or two. This makes them soft and flexible. When you fill the wrap, don’t overstuff it. Use a handful of filling and leave space at the edges. Fold in the sides before rolling to secure the filling. This simple trick helps everything stay together. Serve your spicy chickpea wraps with a side of fresh veggies or a salad. A dollop of yogurt or a squeeze of lime adds a nice touch. You can also try serving them with a side of crunchy chips for some texture. Fresh cilantro and lime wedges bring bright flavors. For a light drink, try lemonade or flavored water. These pair well with the spicy kick of the wraps. For the complete recipe, check out the Full Recipe section! {{image_2}} If you want to mix things up, try adding other proteins. Chicken or turkey works well. Just cook the meat in the spices like the chickpeas. Shrimp adds a nice twist too. For a heartier wrap, use grilled steak or tofu. Each option gives a new flavor to your meal. You can make this wrap vegetarian or vegan easily. For a vegetarian twist, add cheese or Greek yogurt. If you need a vegan option, skip the cheese. Use a plant-based yogurt or more avocado instead. You can also add black beans or lentils for extra protein. These swaps keep the meal tasty and filling. Experimenting with spices can create unique flavors. Try adding garlic powder or onion powder for depth. A touch of curry powder can give a warm, rich taste.

In a mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas lightly with a fork, leaving some whole for texture.

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mashed chickpeas, smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse the chickpeas and creating a warm, bold mixture.

          To assemble each wrap, spread a layer of tahini sauce or hummus on each tortilla. Place a handful of baby spinach in the center, followed by a generous scoop of the spicy chickpea mixture, avocado slices, shredded carrots, and red onion.

            Fold in the sides of the tortilla, and then roll it tightly from the bottom up to encase all the fillings.
