Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 whole wheat wraps or tortillas

1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves

1 cup cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup red onion, thinly sliced

½ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional but recommended)

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a medium bowl, lightly mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher, ensuring to leave some whole to add texture to the wraps.

    Sauté the Garlic: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and just turning golden—be cautious not to let it burn as it will turn bitter.

      Combine Ingredients: Incorporate the mashed chickpeas into the skillet, followed by the lemon zest, lemon juice, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and continue to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chickpeas to warm through.

        Prepare the Wraps: Place the whole wheat wraps on a clean surface or plate. Spoon a generous amount of the chickpea mixture into the center of each wrap, distributing it evenly.

          Add Fresh Veggies: Layer the chickpea mixture with fresh baby spinach leaves, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion. If using, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top for an extra creamy contrast.

            Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of each wrap, then roll it from the bottom upwards, securing the filling tightly. For easy eating, slice each wrap in half diagonally.

              Serve and Enjoy: These delightful wraps can be enjoyed warm or cold, making them an ideal choice for a quick lunch or light dinner. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for an added touch of color and flavor.
