Cook Time: -
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 wraps
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup carrots, grated
- 2 tbsp vegan mayo
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Salt to taste
- 2 large tortillas
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly in a colander, then pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a medium mixing bowl, roughly mash the chickpeas using a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Dice the cucumber into small, uniform cubes and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor.
- Add the diced cucumber and grated carrots to the mashed chickpeas.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together vegan mayo, sriracha sauce, fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Pour the sriracha mayo mixture over the chickpea and vegetable blend, stirring gently to ensure even coating.
- Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, sriracha, or lime juice as needed.
- Warm the tortillas briefly in a skillet or microwave to make them more pliable.
- Divide the chickpea salad evenly between the two tortillas, spreading it in the center.
- Fold the bottom of each tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a wrap.
- Optional: Slice the wraps diagonally and serve immediately with extra sriracha on the side.
Tips
- Moisture Matters: Make sure to thoroughly drain and pat dry your chickpeas to prevent a soggy wrap.
- Texture is Key: When mashing chickpeas, leave some chunks for a more interesting mouthfeel.
- Customize Your Heat: Adjust the sriracha to your personal spice tolerance - start with less and add more as you like.
- Warm Tortillas Hack: Briefly warming tortillas makes them more flexible and less likely to crack when rolling.
- Prep Ahead: This filling can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for quick assembly later.
- Extra Crunch: Consider adding some chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or a sprinkle of sunflower seeds for added texture.
- Storage Tip: If not serving immediately, wrap tightly in foil to keep the tortillas soft and prevent drying out.
