Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced cucumber
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- 2 tbsp hot sauce
- 2 whole wheat wraps
- 1/4 cup hummus
- Fresh spinach leaves
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water to remove any excess sodium. Set them aside in a bowl.
- Dice the bell pepper and cucumber into small, bite-sized pieces. Chop the red onion finely. Add the diced bell pepper, cucumber, and chopped red onion to the bowl with the chickpeas.
- Pour the hot sauce over the chickpea and vegetable mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients, ensuring the chickpeas are well-coated with the hot sauce.
- Take the whole wheat wraps and lay them flat on a clean surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly over each wrap, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Place a generous handful of fresh spinach leaves over the hummus on each wrap.
- Evenly distribute the spicy chickpea and vegetable mixture over the spinach on each wrap.
- To wrap, fold in the sides of the wrap and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, ensuring all the filling is enclosed.
- Once wrapped, you can slice the wraps in half diagonally for easier eating, if desired.
- Serve the spicy chickpea veggie wraps immediately, or wrap them in foil or parchment paper for a portable meal. Enjoy!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare your veggies and chickpeas in advance. Store them in the fridge for a quick assembly when you're ready to eat.
- Customize Your Heat: Adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your spice tolerance. If you prefer a milder wrap, start with a smaller amount and add more as needed.
- Add More Crunch: For extra texture, consider adding shredded carrots or sliced radishes to the chickpea mixture.
- Wrap It Right: When rolling your wraps, ensure you fold in the sides tightly to prevent the filling from spilling out.
- Make it a Meal: Pair your wraps with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete and balanced meal.
- Portable Lunch: If you’re on the go, wrap your veggie wraps in foil or parchment paper to keep them fresh and easy to transport.Enjoy your cooking adventure with these tips, and savor every spicy bite of your delicious wraps!
