Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and thoroughly drained

1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced

1/2 cup cucumber, finely diced

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option

2 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Whole grain or gluten-free wraps (4-6 pieces, depending on size)

Optional toppings: Sliced avocado, fresh sprouts, or microgreens

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the rinsed and drained chickpeas. Leave a few chunks intact to add a delightful texture to your filling.

    Mix the Vegetables: Incorporate the finely diced red bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, and chopped parsley into the mashed chickpeas. Stir everything together until the mixture is well combined, ensuring the colorful vegetables are evenly distributed.

      Create the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt), tahini, freshly squeezed lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed to suit your preference.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour the dressing over the chickpea and vegetable mixture. Gently stir until all ingredients are well coated with the creamy dressing, ensuring every bite has flavor.

          Assemble the Wraps: Place your whole grain or gluten-free wraps on a clean, flat surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chickpea salad mixture into the center of each wrap, creating a vibrant display.

            Add Toppings: If you’d like, add slices of creamy avocado, fresh sprouts, or microgreens on top of the chickpea salad for additional flavor and nutrition.

              Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of the wrap, then roll it tightly from the bottom up towards the top, encasing your filling securely within the wrap.

                Serve: For the best presentation, slice the wraps diagonally in half and serve immediately. If you're on the go, wrap them securely in foil or parchment paper for a convenient, portable lunch.
