Ingredients

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 cup lettuce, shredded (romaine or your favorite mixed greens)

1 medium ripe tomato, diced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1 ripe avocado, sliced

4 whole wheat tortillas

1/2 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

Optional: hot sauce or tzatziki for an extra kick of flavor

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the chickpeas.

Prepare the Chickpeas: Spread the drained and rinsed chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat them dry thoroughly to eliminate excess moisture, which is crucial for achieving that desired crispiness in the oven.

Season the Chickpeas: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dried chickpeas with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Toss the chickpeas until they are well coated with the seasoning mixture.

Bake the Chickpeas: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even crisping. Keep a close eye on them towards the end to prevent burning; they should be golden brown and crunchy when done.

Assemble the Wraps: While the chickpeas are baking, prepare the wrap fillings. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss gently to mix the vegetables evenly.

Spread the Hummus: Take each whole wheat tortilla and generously spread a heaping tablespoon of hummus across the center, leaving some space along the edges for easy wrapping.

Layer the Fillings: On top of the hummus, evenly distribute a portion of the vegetable mixture, followed by a generous amount of crispy chickpeas and a few slices of avocado. If desired, add a drizzle of hot sauce or a dollop of tzatziki for a flavorful kick.

Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla to encase the fillings. Then, starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla up tightly toward the top, ensuring all fillings are securely inside.

Serve: To serve, slice each wrap diagonally in half to showcase the vibrant colors inside. Enjoy immediately while the chickpeas are still crunchy for the best texture and flavor!
