Ingredients

Wraps and Chickpeas

  • 2 large tortilla wraps
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup grated carrots
  • ½ cup thinly sliced cucumbers
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

Cheese and Sauce

  • 3–4 oz soft goat cheese, crumbled
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil: Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the chickpeas.
  2. Cook the chickpeas: Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas to the skillet along with smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the chickpeas become lightly crispy and golden brown, stirring occasionally.
  3. Make the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, grated garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  4. Warm the tortillas: Slightly warm the tortilla wraps to make them more pliable and easier to roll without cracking.
  5. Assemble the wraps – layer 1: Spread a spoonful of the prepared yogurt sauce evenly over each warmed tortilla wrap to add flavor and moisture.
  6. Assemble the wraps – layer 2: Layer the shredded lettuce, grated carrots, thinly sliced cucumbers, and red onion evenly across the tortillas over the yogurt sauce.
  7. Add the spiced chickpeas: Distribute the warm sautéed chickpeas on top of the layered vegetables for a hearty protein-packed filling.
  8. Add cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled soft goat cheese generously over the chickpeas for a creamy, tangy contrast.
  9. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or cilantro over the filling to add color and fresh herbaceous flavor.
  10. Roll the wraps: Tightly roll each tortilla wrap to enclose the fillings, then slice in half diagonally for easy handling and presentation.
  11. Serve: Serve the wraps immediately with extra yogurt sauce on the side for dipping or additional creaminess.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, replace goat cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative and use a dairy-free yogurt.
  • You can substitute smoked paprika with regular paprika if preferred.
  • Wraps can be made ahead and refrigerated, but are best served fresh for optimal texture.
  • Customize the filling by adding roasted red peppers or avocado slices for enhanced flavor and nutrition.
  • Medium heat is recommended to avoid burning the spices while sautéing chickpeas.
