Ingredients
  

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

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust based on your spice preference)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat or spinach wraps

1 cup fresh spinach leaves, washed and dried

1 medium ripe avocado, sliced

1 medium tomato, diced

½ cup red onion, thinly sliced

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

½ cup tahini sauce or your preferred dressing (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting.

    Prepare the Chickpeas: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas with olive oil. Add the smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper. Toss the chickpeas until they are evenly coated with the spices and oil.

      Roast the Chickpeas: Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place them in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. Be sure to toss them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping, until they are golden brown and crunchy.

        Warm the Wraps: While the chickpeas are roasting, warm the wraps. Place a skillet over medium heat and gently warm the wraps for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they become pliable and slightly toasted.

          Assemble the Wraps: Once the chickpeas are out of the oven and slightly cooled, it’s time to assemble. On each wrap, layer a handful of fresh spinach leaves followed by a generous spoonful of roasted chickpeas. Top with slices of avocado, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

            Drizzle with Sauce: For an added layer of flavor, drizzle tahini sauce or your favorite dressing over the fillings.

              Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of each wrap to prevent spillage, then roll from the bottom up to enclose the delicious fillings securely.

                Serve: Cut the wraps in half and enjoy immediately for the best taste, or wrap them in foil for an easy, flavorful meal on the go!
