Looking for a fresh and satisfying lunch option? These Avocado and Chickpea Wraps are just what you need. Packed with flavor and nutrients, they're perfect for a quick meal or a picnic favorite!
The heart of this dish is the creamy avocados, which add a rich texture and healthy fats. Chickpeas bring in protein and fiber, making these wraps more filling. Add some color and crunch with red onion, red bell pepper, and cucumber. A touch of fresh cilantro provides a burst of herbal freshness. The wrap is completed with a tangy dressing made from tahini, lemon juice, and ground cumin, which ties all the flavors together beautifully. Don't forget to season with salt and pepper to taste!
Pair these wraps with a side of mixed greens or a fresh fruit salad for a complete meal. They also go well with a bowl of soup, especially on cooler days.
Start by grabbing a large bowl and mashing up the avocados until they’re nice and smooth. You’re aiming for a creamy base here. Next, toss in the chickpeas, red onion, red bell pepper, cucumber, and cilantro. Give everything a good mix so that all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, ground cumin, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. You want a smooth, pourable dressing. Drizzle this over your avocado and chickpea mixture, and stir until everything is well-coated.
Lay out your whole-grain wraps on a flat surface. Spoon the filling onto each wrap, distributing it evenly. Roll them up tightly to enclose the filling, and if you like, slice them in half diagonally for easy handling. If you’re not eating them right away, wrap them in parchment paper and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
