Ingredients

For the chickpeas:

• 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 1/4 tsp cayenne (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the tahini sauce:

• 1/4 cup tahini
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2–3 tbsp water (to thin)
• Salt to taste

Wrap assembly:

• 4 whole wheat pitas or wraps
• 1 cup shredded lettuce or chopped romaine
• 1/2 cup diced cucumber
• 1/2 cup chopped tomato
• 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. Roast the Chickpeas:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss chickpeas with olive oil and spices. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and slightly crispy.

2. Make the Tahini Sauce:

In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Add water a tablespoon at a time until smooth and pourable.

3. Assemble the Wraps:

Warm pitas slightly. Layer with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion, and roasted chickpeas. Drizzle generously with tahini sauce and top with herbs.

4. Wrap & Serve:

Roll up your wraps or fold them taco-style. Serve immediately or wrap in foil for lunch on the go!
