Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchini, sliced into thin strips

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1 cup Greek yogurt or a dairy-free alternative

1 tablespoon tahini

Juice of 1 lemon

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve perfectly roasted vegetables.

    Prepare the Veggies and Chickpeas: On a large baking sheet, arrange the sliced zucchini and rinsed chickpeas in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper over the top. Toss everything together until well-coated, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.

      Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. The zucchini should become tender, and the chickpeas should turn golden and crispy. Be sure to stir the mixture halfway through to promote even cooking.

        Make the Sauce: While the zucchini and chickpeas are roasting, prepare the creamy sauce. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

          Assemble the Wraps: Once the roasted zucchini and chickpeas are out of the oven and have cooled slightly, lay out each tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the tahini-yogurt sauce over the entire surface of each tortilla.

            Add Fillings: On top of the sauce, add a handful of fresh spinach leaves, followed by a hearty portion of the roasted zucchini and chickpea mixture. If you’d like an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle in the halved cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese.

              Wrap it Up: Carefully roll each tortilla into a wrap shape, folding in the sides as you go to secure the fillings tightly within. This will help keep your delicious ingredients from spilling out.

                Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut each wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, savory flavors of your Roasted Zucchini Chickpea Wraps!
