Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, mash 1 can (15 oz) drained and rinsed chickpeas with a fork until slightly chunky. Add 1 cup grated carrot, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir to combine evenly.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp tahini, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp water, and 1 minced small garlic clove until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed to thin the sauce.
  3. Step 3: Spread about 1 tbsp tahini sauce over each of the 4 large whole wheat tortillas. Divide the chickpea mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in a line down the center.
  4. Step 4: Top each wrap with 1/4 cup fresh spinach leaves. Roll up the tortillas tightly and slice in half diagonally. Wrap in parchment or foil for easy picnic transport.
