  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings (4 wraps)

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 15 oz canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 heaping tablespoons vegan pesto (such as Barilla vegan pesto)
  • ~2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • ~1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • Microgreens (optional, quantity as desired)
  • ~3-4 oz dairy-free feta crumbles (such as Vioife)
  • 4 large tortillas or wraps of choice

Instructions

  1. Coat Chickpeas: Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas to a medium-sized bowl. Toss them thoroughly with the vegan pesto so each chickpea is evenly coated, ensuring full flavor in every bite.
  2. Prepare Tortillas: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Using a fork, mash about one-quarter of the ripe avocado directly onto each tortilla, spreading it evenly to form a creamy base layer.
  3. Add Fillings: Distribute the pesto-coated chickpeas evenly over the avocado layer on each wrap. Then top with chopped romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, microgreens if you are using them, and sprinkle the dairy-free feta crumbles over the top.
  4. Roll Wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla tightly and then roll them up into secure wraps. This recipe yields about four generously filled wraps.
  5. Optional Grilling: For enhanced flavor and texture, grill the wraps on a skillet or grill pan for a few minutes on each side until they become lightly golden and crisp. This step adds a delicious crunch but is optional.
  6. Serve or Store: Enjoy the wraps immediately for the freshest taste. Alternatively, you can wrap them tightly and refrigerate for up to one day. Keep in mind that the tortillas may become softer and the avocado may brown slightly with time.

Notes

  • Using ripe avocado ensures creamy texture and easier spreading.
  • Grilling the wraps is optional but adds a tasty crispy finish.
  • Store leftovers wrapped tightly in the refrigerator for up to one day.
  • Microgreens add freshness and a nutritional boost but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Choose your favorite tortilla or wrap type based on dietary needs or preference.
