TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Chickpea Tomato Mini Wraps:
- Mash Smooth: For a creamier texture, mash the chickpeas thoroughly with a fork or potato masher.
- Season to Taste: Adjust the salt, pepper and lemon juice to your preference for the perfect balance of flavours.
- Customise: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or coriander for an extra burst of freshness.
- Tortilla Warmth: Heating the tortilla makes it more flexible and easier to roll without cracking.
VARIATIONS
- Spicy Kick: Add a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of chilli flakes to the chickpea mixture for a spicy version.
- Protein Boost: Incorporate a tablespoon of hummus or tahini to increase the protein content.
- Veggie Mix: Add diced cucumber, red onion or shredded lettuce for an extra crunch and added nutrition.
- Gluten-Free: Use a certified gluten-free tortilla for a wheat-free option.
- Mediterranean Flavour: Stir in a teaspoon of olives or capers to add a tang and briny flavour to the wraps.
PREPPING AND STORAGE

- Batch Prep: Mash chickpeas in advance and keep them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
