Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black 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-sized mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the drained chickpeas until they are slightly chunky, retaining some texture for a delightful bite.

    Season the Chickpeas: Incorporate the olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and black pepper into the mashed chickpeas. Mix thoroughly until every chickpea is well-coated with the spice mixture.

      Heat the Mixture: Place a non-stick skillet on medium heat and add the seasoned chickpeas. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are warmed through and begin to turn crispy around the edges. Once done, remove the skillet from heat.

        Prepare the Wraps: Lay the whole wheat tortillas flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Spread 1 tablespoon of tahini or hummus over each tortilla, ensuring even coverage for added flavor and moisture.

          Layer the Filling: On top of the tahini or hummus, pile a generous portion of the warm, smoky chickpeas. Next, add slices of the roasted red pepper, followed by a handful of fresh spinach or mixed greens. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top for a creamy contrast.

            Roll the Wraps: Carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom to fully encase the filling, ensuring a tight and secure wrap.

              Serve: Slice the wraps in half diagonally for an appealing presentation, and serve them with lemon wedges on the side. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the wraps just before eating to enhance the vibrant flavors.
