Ingredients

Core Ingredients

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

½ to 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ small cucumber, diced or sliced into sticks

¼ to ½ red onion, thinly sliced or finely chopped

1 cup leafy greens (spinach, romaine, or baby kale)

½ cup crumbled feta cheese

4 large whole wheat tortillas or flatbreads

Flavor Add-ins & Garnish

¼ to ½ cup Kalamata olives, sliced

1–2 tablespoons fresh parsley or dill, chopped

Dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional Spreads

Hummus

Tzatziki

Instructions

Start by preparing the chickpeas. In a bowl, lightly mash half of them with a fork while leaving the rest whole. This helps create a mix of creamy and chunky texture inside the wrap.

Season the chickpeas with oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well so the spices coat evenly.

Add cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and fresh herbs. Toss gently to combine without breaking the vegetables.

Lay out each tortilla or flatbread on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of hummus or tzatziki if using. This adds creaminess and helps hold the filling together.

Add a layer of leafy greens first, then spoon the chickpea mixture evenly on top.

Sprinkle crumbled feta over the filling.

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly into a wrap. Repeat with the remaining wraps.

Serve immediately or wrap in foil for a portable meal.

Tips

Add feta just before wrapping for better texture.
