Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust based on heat preference)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon salt

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1 avocado, sliced

1 medium tomato, diced

¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or a dairy-free alternative

Juice of 1 lime

Optional toppings: sliced jalapeños, fresh cilantro, or crumbled feta cheese

Instructions
 

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

    Season the Chickpeas: In a mixing bowl, add the drained and rinsed chickpeas along with olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chickpeas well until they are thoroughly coated in the spice mixture.

      Roast the Chickpeas: Transfer the seasoned chickpeas to a baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking for even crispiness, until they turn golden and crunchy.

        Prepare the Wrap Ingredients: While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt with the freshly squeezed lime juice and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined and set aside.

          Assemble the Wraps: Once the chickpeas are done roasting, allow them to cool for a few minutes. Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the lime yogurt sauce on each tortilla for added flavor and creaminess.

            Layer the Fillings: On each tortilla, start by adding a handful of fresh spinach leaves. Next, pile on the crispy roasted chickpeas, followed by slices of avocado, diced tomatoes, and any additional toppings you like, such as sliced jalapeños, fresh cilantro, or crumbled feta cheese for a salty kick.

              Wrap and Serve: To wrap, carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to secure all the delicious fillings. For easier handling, you may cut the wrap in half. Enjoy your spicy roasted chickpea wraps warm or let them cool to room temperature for a refreshing meal!
