Vibrant Mediterranean Chickpea & Veggie Healthy Wrap

• 4 whole wheat tortillas (8-inch)
• 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium cucumber, diced
• 1/2 cup grated carrot
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, grated carrot, red onion, and parsley.
2. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the veggie and chickpea mixture. Sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to combine all flavors evenly.
3. Warm the whole wheat tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
4. Spread about 2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce evenly on each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Divide the chickpea and veggie mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in a line down the center of each wrap.
6. Optionally, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the filling for added creaminess and flavor.
7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll tightly from one end to the other to enclose the filling securely.
8. Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately or wrap in foil for a portable lunch option.

Chef tips

• For a vegan version, replace tzatziki with hummus and omit feta cheese or substitute with a plant-based cheese alternative.
• If whole wheat tortillas are unavailable, use spinach or tomato basil wraps for added flavor and nutrients.
• To keep wraps fresh for meal prep, store the filling separately from the tortilla and assemble just before eating to avoid sogginess.
• Add sliced avocado or a handful of baby spinach for extra creaminess and greens.
