Chickpea Shawarma Wraps Tasty and Simple Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- to taste salt and pepper
- 2 large whole wheat wraps or pita bread
- 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cucumber diced
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 1 lemon juice
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- as needed water to thin the sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix the drained chickpeas with olive oil, ground cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, shaking the sheet halfway through cooking for even roasting.
- In a small bowl, combine tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and add water a tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency for drizzling.
- Once the chickpeas are done roasting, take your whole wheat wraps or pita and layer a handful of greens, roasted chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber in the center.
- Generously drizzle the tahini sauce over the filling, then fold the sides of the wrap over the filling and roll it up tightly from the bottom.
- Slice the wraps in half and serve with extra tahini sauce on the side for dipping.
