Ingredients
Chickpea Mixture
- 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped (divided)
- 4 tbsp parsley, chopped (divided)
- ½ tsp chili powder
- 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
- ½ lemon, juice of
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
Wrap Ingredients
- ½ avocado
- 3 small flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp chopped pitted olives
Instructions
- Prepare Chickpea Blend: Place half of the rinsed chickpeas, minced garlic, half of the chopped mint, half of the chopped parsley, chili powder, olive oil, toasted sesame seeds, and lemon juice into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth but still slightly chunky.
- Mash Remaining Chickpeas: Transfer the blended chickpea mixture to a bowl and add the remaining chickpeas. Use a fork or potato masher to mash everything together, keeping some chickpeas whole for texture.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay out the small tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the chickpea mixture evenly, spreading about one-third down the center of each tortilla. Top with the remaining mint and parsley, chopped olives, and sliced avocado.
- Wrap and Toast: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll up tightly like a burrito. Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and toast each wrap on both sides until golden and sealed, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve: Slice each wrap in half, serve immediately, and enjoy your healthy, flavorful vegan meal.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh herbs like cilantro or basil if mint and parsley are not available.
- For added crunch, consider adding shredded lettuce or cucumber slices inside the wrap.
- To make this gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
- Adjust chili powder amount based on your preference for spice level.
- The wraps are best enjoyed immediately to preserve the avocado’s freshness and the crisp toasted texture.
