Spiced Chickpea Wraps with Tahini Dressing
There’s been a lot of wraphacks out there, which are amazing, but sometimes you have to go the traditional route. These spiced chickpea wraps are simple to make and delicious 🤤. The chickpeas are loaded with flavor and on top of that a tahini dressing that also packs a punch 🤛. Chickpeas are an excellent source of fiber, vitamins and minerals and can also aid in digestion 😃. These protein powerhouses combined with arugula, carrots and tahini dressing create a perfect wrap that not only looks and tastes delicious, but is also nutritious. As an added nutritional bonus, replace your flour tortilla with an Ezekiel sprouted whole grain tortilla.
Total Time:
30 minutes including prep
Ingredients:
For the Tahini Dressing
Oils and Vinegars
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
Other
1/4 cup tahini
3 tbsp warm water
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp soy sauce or tamari
For the Spiced Chickpeas
Oils and Vinegars
1 tbsp coconut oil
Baking and Spices
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 - 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Other
3 cups cooked chickpeas (2 - 15oz cans)
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp soy sauce or tamari
For Serving
4 large wraps (I used Ezekiel sprouted whole grain)
Arugula
Shredded Carrots
Directions:
To make the dressing, mix all the ingredients together in a small glass until smooth and creamy. Set in the fridge.
Heat up the coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chickpeas and fry them until they start to turn gold and pop around (about 3-5 minutes). In a small glass, mix together the lemon juice, maple syrup, and soy sauce. When the chickpeas are done, pour the lemon juice mixture over them and stir. Let that evaporate for about 30 seconds and then add all the spices. Stir and let them fry together for another 30 seconds and then turn off the heat.
Serve in a wrap with some arugula and shredded carrots. Drizzle dressing over it and enjoy.
