Ingredients

• 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 tortillas
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup tahini sauce
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the seasoned chickpeas on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10 minutes, or until they are crispy. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
4. While the chickpeas roast, prepare your vegetables: shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, shred the carrots, and thinly slice the red onion.
5. In a small bowl, mix tahini sauce with lemon juice and minced garlic to create a flavorful drizzle.
6. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they’re pliable.
7. To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla flat and add a layer of lettuce, followed by tomatoes, carrots, and red onion.
8. Top with a generous handful of the roasted spicy chickpeas.
9. Drizzle the tahini sauce over the fillings.
10. Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll it up tightly to enclose the filling. Cut in half to serve.

Helpful Tips

• Variation: Add avocado or hummus for an extra layer of creaminess.
• Beginner Tip: If you’re new to roasting chickpeas, keep an eye on them to avoid burning—every oven behaves differently!
• Storage: Store leftover chickpeas separately from the veggies and wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assemble fresh as needed.
• Substitution: Use whole wheat tortillas or lettuce wraps for a low-carb version.
