Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, mash 1 medium ripe avocado with 1 cup cooked chickpeas using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro, 1 small minced garlic clove, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to the mashed mixture. Stir well until combined and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Lay out 4 large whole wheat tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly spread the avocado-chickpea mixture over each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around edges.
  4. Step 4: Top each tortilla with 1/2 cup shredded carrot and 1 cup baby spinach leaves.
  5. Step 5: Roll up each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling. Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately or wrap tightly for lunch on the go.
