Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 cup lettuce, shredded (romaine or your choice of mixed greens)

1 medium tomato, diced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1 ripe avocado, sliced

4 whole wheat tortillas

1/2 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

Optional: hot sauce or tzatziki for an extra flavor kick

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the chickpeas.

    Prepare the Chickpeas: Spread the drained chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel and pat them gently to absorb excess moisture. This crucial step will ensure they achieve maximum crispiness in the oven.

      Season the Chickpeas: In a mixing bowl, combine the dried chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss them well until each chickpea is fully coated in the flavorful mixture.

        Bake the Chickpeas: Spread the seasoned chickpeas onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time, until they turn golden brown and crispy. Keep a watchful eye to prevent burning.

          Assemble the Wraps: While the chickpeas are baking, prepare the wrap filling. In a separate bowl, combine the shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and sliced red onion, mixing them well to create a vibrant veggie medley.

            Spread the Hummus: Take each tortilla and spread a generous layer of hummus across the center, creating a flavorful base for your fillings.

              Add the Fillings: On top of the hummus, place the mixed veggie medley, followed by the crispy chickpeas and slices of avocado. Drizzle with hot sauce or tzatziki if you’d like to enhance the flavors further.

                Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to the top to enclose all the delicious fillings securely. This step ensures that nothing escapes during your meal!

                  Serve: Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately, reveling in the crunch of the freshly baked chickpeas!
