Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 red bell pepper, roasted (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup fresh spinach or mixed greens

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

4 large whole wheat tortillas or wraps

2 tablespoons tahini or hummus

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a medium bowl, mash the drained chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until slightly chunky.

    Season: Add the olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix well until everything is nicely combined and the chickpeas are fully coated in the spices.

      Heat: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the seasoned chickpeas and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are warm and slightly crispy. Remove from heat.

        Prepare the Wraps: Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a clean surface or board. Spread a tablespoon of tahini or hummus on each tortilla.

          Layer Ingredients: On each tortilla, add a generous portion of the warm smoky chickpeas, followed by the roasted red pepper slices, fresh spinach, and crumbled feta cheese, if using.

            Wrap: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to encapsulate the filling.

              Serve: Cut the wraps in half diagonally and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh squeeze of citrus just before eating.
