Wrap Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas or your favorite wraps Gluten-free options available.
  • 2 medium Roasted Beets, peeled and cubed
  • 1 can (15 oz) Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups Spinach or Kale, fresh and washed
  • 1 small Red Onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese, crumbled (optional) For a creamy touch.

  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 2-4 tablespoons Water To achieve desired consistency.
  • A pinch Salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Toss the cubed beets with a tablespoon of olive oil and a little salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender.
  2. In a bowl, combine the drained chickpeas with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Optionally, add spices like cumin or paprika for extra flavor.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Slowly add in water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a creamy but pourable consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Assembly
  1. Spread some spinach or kale onto your tortilla, then layer on the roasted beets, chickpeas, and red onion.
  2. Drizzle it all with the tahini lemon sauce. If using feta cheese, sprinkle that on top.
  3. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly. Place it seam-side down on a plate.
  4. Your Roasted Beet & Chickpea Wrap is ready to be devoured!

Notes

These wraps are best eaten fresh. Leftover ingredients can be stored in the fridge for a few days. Keep the wraps separate from the fillings to avoid sogginess. Customize your wrap by adding ingredients like avocado or grilled chicken.
