As dinnertime rolled around last night, I scoured my cupboards trying to figure out what to make. I had some cilantro I needed to use up, some wraps that needed to be eaten and a craving for avocado that resulted in these spicy chickpea wraps with spinach, avocado and cilantro.

I’m definitely going to make this chickpea mixture again soon. I think it would be awesome in collard green wraps and I will most definitely be trying that soon! I’d also recommend adding some lime juice to the chickpeas, I didn’t have any limes on hand but I’m sure that would be really good!

Spicy Chickpea Wraps with Spinach and Avocado

This recipe is nothing fancy, it’s very easy to make with common ingredients but the taste certainly won’t let you down. If you need a super quick and easy meal that makes great leftovers too, then this is for you! If you like this idea, you can also try my buffalo chickpeas, chickpea scramble or chickpea “tuna” salad.

I served these wraps with a side of baked sweet potato chips which went along perfectly with the wrap. I’d say this meal is a healthy version of going out for pub food, so skip the greasy burgers and deep-fried foods and choose these protein, fibre and vitamin-packed spicy chickpea wraps instead.

A very quick and easy dinner that’s packs a punch. The chickpea mixture tastes even better the next day so feel free to make that ahead of time and store in the fridge. It’s also great in salads or eaten just as is!
