These Roasted Red Pepper and Chickpea Wraps offer a flavorful and nutritious vegetarian meal perfect for lunch or a light dinner. Chickpeas are seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic, and cumin, then sautéed to a crispy golden finish. Combined with fresh vegetables, creamy goat cheese, and a tangy homemade yogurt sauce, these wraps are both satisfying and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

For the Chickpeas

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For the Fresh Filling

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup grated carrots
  • ½ cup thinly sliced cucumbers
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • 3–4 oz soft goat cheese, crumbled

For the Yogurt Sauce

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Other

  • 2 large tortilla wraps

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil and Sauté Chickpeas: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the drained chickpeas along with smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas become lightly crispy and golden.
  2. Prepare the Yogurt Sauce: While chickpeas cook, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, grated garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: Gently warm the tortilla wraps, either in a dry skillet or microwave, just enough to make them pliable and easy to roll.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Spread a spoonful of the prepared yogurt sauce evenly over each tortilla. Layer shredded lettuce, grated carrots, cucumber slices, and thinly sliced red onion on top.
  5. Add Spiced Chickpeas and Cheese: Spoon the warm spiced chickpeas over the layered vegetables, then crumble soft goat cheese generously on top.
  6. Garnish and Roll: Sprinkle chopped parsley or cilantro over the filling. Roll each tortilla tightly, then slice in half if desired for easier eating.
  7. Serve: Serve immediately with extra yogurt sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.

Notes

  • You can substitute goat cheese with feta or a vegan cheese alternative for different flavor profiles.
  • For added heat, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes into the chickpea seasoning.
  • Make the wraps ahead by prepping all ingredients and assembling just before serving to keep tortillas from becoming soggy.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas if you want a gluten-free version of this recipe.
  • Leftover chickpeas make a great salad topping or snack the next day.
