Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed canned chickpeas
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded red cabbage
• 1/2 cup grated carrot
• 1/2 cup diced cucumber
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 can (15 oz) drained and rinsed chickpeas along with 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are fragrant and slightly crispy on the edges.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice and 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, stirring until smooth and tangy.
3. Step 3: Warm 4 large flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for 30 seconds each side until pliable. Spread about 2 tbsp of the yogurt sauce onto each tortilla, then layer with 1 cup shredded red cabbage, 1/2 cup grated carrot, and 1/2 cup diced cucumber.
4. Step 4: Divide the spiced chickpeas evenly among the tortillas and roll them up tightly. Serve immediately for a fresh, crunchy wrap full of vibrant flavors.
