Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 14 oz or 1 28 oz can of chickpeas drained and rinsed (approx. 3.5 cups)
- 2-3 tbsp Sriracha sauce start with 2 tbsp, add more as needed or to taste
- 2-3 tbsp vegan mayo or tahini start with 2 tbsp, add more as needed or to taste
- 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice start with 1 tbsp, add more as needed or to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup lightly packed cilantro chopped
- large tortillas
- spinach
- 1/2 avocado per wrap
Instructions
- Either place the chickpeas in a blender or food processor and pulse until the chickpeas are mostly broken down or mash them in a bowl with a fork or potato masher. It should be chunky but starting to hold together.
- Combine the chickpea mixture in a mixing bowl with everything except the spinach and avocado. Mix well. The mixture should resemble egg or tuna salad. Adjust the amount of sriracha, mayo and lemon to taste or desired consistency.
- To assemble the wraps, place a scoop of the chickpea mixture into each wrap then top with spinach and avocado. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
- Roll them up and enjoy!
Notes
- The chickpea mixture makes enough for 6 wraps but any extra can be stored in the fridge up to 4 days and added to salads or just eaten as is.
- Additional ingredients that are good in the chickpea salad are chopped celery, red onion, green onion, shallot or dill pickle. For curried chickpea salad, add 1 tsp curry powder.
- You can easily half or quarter the recipe to suit your needs.
- Sriracha and mayo measurements don't have to be exact. If you don't want it spicy, feel free to use less sriracha or omit it and add extra mayo and lemon or try some dijon mustard. Alternatives to sriracha are any hot sauce, buffalo sauce or chili garlic paste.
