Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 red bell pepper, roasted and peeled (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice preference)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons tahini

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 clove garlic, minced

4 large whole wheat or spinach wraps

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

Optional: Sliced avocado, sliced cucumbers, and fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley) for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare Chickpeas: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the chickpeas until they are mostly broken down but still have some texture (a few whole chickpeas are fine!).

    Make Tahini Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. If the mixture is too thick, add a teaspoon of water until you reach your desired consistency.

      Assemble Wraps: Lay a whole wheat or spinach wrap flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the smoked chickpea mixture across the center of the wrap.

        Add Peppers and Spinach: Place a few strips of roasted red pepper and a handful of fresh spinach leaves on top of the chickpeas. If using, add sliced avocado and cucumbers for extra texture and flavor.

          Drizzle with Tahini Sauce: Spoon some of the tahini sauce over the top of the veggies.

            Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the wrap inward, then roll it from the bottom up to encase the filling. You can wrap it in foil or parchment paper to keep it secure.

              Serve & Enjoy: Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your smoky chickpea and roasted red pepper wraps with additional tahini sauce on the side, if desired.
