Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 cup diced cucumber

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red bell pepper, diced

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup tahini

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat tortillas or wrap bread

1 cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, etc.)

Optional: Feta cheese or avocado slices for added creaminess

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpea Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, add the drained and rinsed chickpeas. Use a fork or potato masher to slightly mash some of the chickpeas while leaving some whole for texture.

    Add Vegetables: To the mashed chickpeas, add the diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and parsley. Stir until everything is well combined.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. If the dressing is too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water until it reaches your desired consistency.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour the dressing over the chickpea and vegetable mixture. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated with the dressing.

          Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the whole wheat tortillas. Start by placing a handful of mixed greens in the center of each tortilla. Then, add a generous portion of the chickpea salad on top of the greens.

            Wrap it Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll from the bottom up to create a wrap. Ensure the contents are tightly packed inside.

              Serve: Slice the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some feta cheese or add slices of avocado on top before wrapping.
