Ingredients

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

Juice and zest of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large lettuce leaves (e.g., Romaine or Butter)

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ avocado, sliced

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Optional: ¼ cup feta cheese or vegan feta

Instructions

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a medium bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or a potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture.

Season the Mixture: Add the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and evenly distributed.

Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the large lettuce leaves on a clean surface or plate. Spoon a generous amount of the chickpea mixture into the center of each leaf.

Add Fresh Ingredients: Top the chickpea mixture with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, and red onion. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and, if using, add crumbled feta cheese.

Fold and Secure: Gently fold the sides of the lettuce leaves over the fillings and roll up from the bottom to create a wrap. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.

Serve: Arrange the wraps on a serving platter and garnish with extra lemon wedges and fresh herbs. Enjoy immediately for the best crunch!
