Let’s Make it Together

Prep Your Veggies: Start by washing all your fresh produce thoroughly. Chop the cucumber, bell pepper, and spinach into bite-sized pieces that will fit perfectly in your wrap.

Drain and Rinse the Chickpeas: Open up those canned chickpeas, give them a good rinse under cold water to remove excess sodium, then toss them into a bowl.

Add Flavorful Spices: Sprinkle cumin and paprika over the chickpeas along with a pinch of salt. Mash lightly with a fork until mixed but still chunky for texture.

Assemble Your Wraps: Lay out your wraps flat on a clean surface. Spread tahini sauce liberally across each one before layering with spinach, chopped veggies, and spiced chickpeas.

Roll It Up!: Starting from one end of the wrap, roll tightly while tucking in sides as you go. Slice them in half if you’re feeling fancy or serve whole—either way is delicious!

Enjoy these delightful Plant-Based Chickpea Wraps for a Greener Plate that are colorful enough to brighten any table setting!
