Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons harissa paste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 whole wheat or spinach wraps

1 cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or lettuce)

½ cup diced cucumber

½ cup shredded carrots

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

¼ cup tahini sauce (optional)

Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpea Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, harissa paste, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Use a fork or a potato masher to gently crush the chickpeas until slightly broken, making sure to leave some whole for texture.

    Sauté the Mixture: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the chickpea mixture to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through and slightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Prepare the Wraps: Lay out the whole wheat or spinach wraps on a clean surface. Spread a tablespoon of tahini sauce (if using) on each wrap for added creaminess.

        Assemble the Wraps: Evenly distribute the chickpea mixture among the wraps, then add a handful of mixed greens, diced cucumber, shredded carrots, cherry tomatoes, and red onion on top of the chickpeas.

          Wrap It Up: Starting from one end, tightly roll the wrap, tucking in the sides as you go to seal in the fillings. Slice each wrap in half to serve.

            Garnish & Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for a portable meal option. Enjoy your smoky, spicy wraps!
