Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

Juice of 1 lemon (about 3 tablespoons)

1 teaspoon lemon zest

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1 cup baby spinach

1 medium cucumber, sliced

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup tahini

2 tablespoons water (to thin the tahini)

Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare Chickpeas: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss until all chickpeas are well-coated.

      Roast Chickpeas: Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until they are golden and slightly crispy.

        Make Tahini Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and water until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed. Season with a pinch of salt.

          Assemble Wraps: Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Start with a layer of baby spinach, followed by slices of cucumber, avocado, and cherry tomatoes. Add the lemon roasted chickpeas on top.

            Drizzle Dressing: Generously drizzle the tahini dressing over the filling and sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.

              Wrap and Serve: Carefully roll the tortillas tightly around the filling, tucking in the edges as you go. Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for a delicious on-the-go meal!
