Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 large red bell pepper, roasted (or use jarred roasted red peppers)

1/4 cup tahini

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large whole wheat wraps or tortillas

1 cup mixed greens or baby spinach

1/2 cup cucumber, diced

1/2 cup shredded carrots

Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro), for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Roasted Red Pepper: If you’re roasting your own bell pepper, preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the whole pepper on a baking sheet, drizzled with a little olive oil, and roast for about 20-25 minutes or until the skin is blistered and blackened. Remove from oven and place in a bowl, covering it with plastic wrap for 10 minutes to steam. Once cooled, peel off the skin, remove seeds, and slice into strips.

    Make the Chickpea Mixture: In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, roasted red pepper, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust seasoning to taste.

      Prepare the Wraps: Lay out the whole wheat wraps on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the chickpea mixture down the center of each wrap.

        Add Fresh Vegetables: Top the chickpea spread with a handful of mixed greens, diced cucumber, and shredded carrots. Sprinkle with fresh herbs for added flavor.

          Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of the wrap and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Cut in half if desired.

            Serve or Store: The wraps can be enjoyed immediately or wrapped in foil or parchment paper for quick lunches on the go. They can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
