Bright, zesty wraps with smashed chickpeas, crisp veggies, and creamy lemon tahini dressing for a fresh meal.

# What you need:

→ Chickpea Filling

01 - 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
02 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
03 - 1 small red onion, finely diced
04 - 1 medium carrot, grated
05 - 1 small cucumber, diced
06 - 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
07 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Lemon Tahini Dressing

08 - 3 tablespoons tahini
09 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
10 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
11 - 1 clove garlic, minced
12 - 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave nectar
13 - 2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
14 - Salt to taste

→ Assembly

15 - 4 large whole wheat or gluten-free wraps
16 - 1 cup mixed salad greens
17 - Lemon wedges for serving

# Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl, lightly mash chickpeas with a fork, leaving some chunky texture for bite and substance.
02 - Add parsley, red onion, carrot, cucumber, spinach, salt, and pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add cold water while whisking until the dressing reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
04 - Pour the prepared dressing over the chickpea mixture and toss until all ingredients are evenly coated with the tahini dressing.
05 - Lay wraps flat on a clean work surface. Place a handful of salad greens down the center of each wrap. Spoon the dressed chickpea mixture evenly over the greens.
06 - Fold in the sides of each wrap and roll tightly. Slice in half diagonally if desired for easier handling and presentation.
07 - Serve wraps immediately while fresh and secure, accompanied by lemon wedges on the side.

# Expert tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in 15 minutes flat, no cooking required—perfect for those days when turning on the stove feels like too much.
  • The lemon-tahini dressing is silky and bright without a trace of heaviness, making you feel genuinely good about what you're eating.
  • Everything can be prepped ahead and assembled at the last second, which makes weeknight meal prep actually doable.
02 -
  • If your dressing breaks or looks grainy, you added water too fast or your tahini was too warm—start fresh with cold tahini and add water drop by drop instead of pouring.
  • Assemble these right before eating; the filling will weep liquid if it sits, and your wrap becomes a sad, soggy disappointment within an hour.
03 -
  • Keep your tahini in the fridge if you live somewhere warm; cold tahini whisks into the dressing more smoothly and doesn't separate as easily.
  • Toast your wraps lightly in a dry pan for 20 seconds per side if they've been sitting in the fridge—it warms them through and makes them less likely to tear when you roll.
