Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 whole grain wraps or tortillas

1 cup fresh spinach or mixed greens

1 medium cucumber, sliced

1 large tomato, diced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup tahini sauce (optional)

Fresh lemon juice, for drizzling

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a medium bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or a potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture.

    Spice Mix: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, cumin, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the mashed chickpeas and stir until well combined.

      Cook Chickpeas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the spiced chickpeas to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly crispy.

        Prepare Wraps: While the chickpeas are cooking, prepare your wraps. Lay out the whole grain wraps or tortillas on a clean surface.

          Assemble the Wraps: Start by placing a generous handful of fresh spinach or mixed greens on each wrap. Top with the spiced chickpeas, followed by cucumber slices, diced tomatoes, and red onion slices.

            Add Toppings: If desired, drizzle tahini sauce over the top and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle chopped parsley for an extra pop of flavor.

              Roll It Up: Carefully fold the sides of the wrap in and roll it tightly from the bottom up. Slice in half for easier handling if needed.

                Serve: Serve immediately with additional slices of lemon on the side for extra zest.
