Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 400g canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 medium ripe avocados
- ½ medium red onion, finely diced
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp cumin powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Wraps
- 4 large tortillas
- Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, shredded lettuce
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocados with a fork until smooth. Add the drained chickpeas and lightly mash some for texture. Stir in the finely diced red onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, and lime juice. Season the mixture by adding chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 15-20 seconds each side or warm them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. Warming the tortillas makes them more pliable and easier to roll without tearing.
- Assemble the wraps: Divide the prepared chickpea and avocado filling evenly among the warmed tortillas. Optionally, add fresh cilantro or shredded lettuce on top for extra freshness and crunch.
- Roll the wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly from one end to the other to enclose the filling securely, forming neat wraps.
- Serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally if desired and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra heat, add more jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas as preferred.
- Can be prepared ahead by mixing the filling and storing separately; assemble just before serving to avoid soggy wraps.
- For added protein, consider adding grilled chicken or paneer if not vegan.
- Keep lime juice handy to prevent avocado browning if not serving immediately.
