Ingredients

• Chickpea Salad: 2 cups (1 can, 15 oz) cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/3 cup coconut yogurt (unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon mild curry powder
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup finely diced celery
• 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• Wrap Assembly: 4 large flour or whole wheat tortillas (or gluten-free wraps)
• 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
• 1 medium carrot, julienned or grated
• 1/2 cucumber, sliced into thin strips

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the chickpea mash

In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly broken up, leaving some chunks for texture.

Step 2: Mix the dressing

Add coconut yogurt, vegan mayonnaise, curry powder, lime juice, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 3: Add vegetables

Fold in the celery, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.

Step 4: Taste and adjust

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 5: Prepare tortillas

Lay out the tortillas. Place a handful of spinach or greens down the center of each tortilla.

Step 6: Add fillings

Top with the chickpea curry salad, then add carrot and cucumber strips.

Step 7: Roll the wraps

Fold in the sides and roll up tightly into a wrap.

Step 8: Serve

Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For the best texture, mash the chickpeas until they're broken down but still have some texture. This creates a more interesting mouthfeel than completely smooth chickpeas. Also, allowing the chickpea mixture to rest for 15-20 minutes before assembling the wraps intensifies the flavor as the curry has time to permeate the mixture.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a spicier version, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño to the chickpea mixture. If you're not a fan of cilantro, substitute with fresh mint or parsley. For a lower-carb option, serve the chickpea salad over a bed of greens instead of in a wrap, or use large lettuce leaves as wraps.

Serviervorschläge

These wraps pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a light soup. For a more substantial meal, add a side of roasted sweet potato wedges or a small portion of quinoa salad. They're perfect for picnics, lunch boxes, or a light dinner on warm evenings.
