Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust based on your spice preference)

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lemon (approximately 3 tablespoons)

4 large whole wheat tortillas or wraps

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

½ cup diced cucumber

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

½ cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to make the chickpeas crispy.

    Prepare Chickpeas: On a large baking sheet, spread out the drained and rinsed chickpeas in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, then uniformly sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper over them. Toss the chickpeas well with your hands or a spatula until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.

      Roast Chickpeas: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for about 25-30 minutes. Be sure to shake the pan halfway through the roasting time to ensure even crispiness and golden brown color.

        Mix Dressing: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil to create a light and zesty dressing for your wraps.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take each tortilla and spread a generous layer of hummus over the entire surface. On top of the hummus, layer the fresh spinach leaves first, then add the crispy roasted chickpeas, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.

            Drizzle Dressing: Drizzle the prepared lemon dressing generously over the colorful vegetable filling to enhance the flavors.

              Wrap it Up: To create a tidy wrap, roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling. You can slice each wrap in half to make it easier to handle.

                Serve: Garnish your wraps with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately, or wrap them in foil for a delicious and portable meal option.
