Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained (15 oz)
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1 stick celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 4 whole wheat wraps
  • Tahini sauce
  • Harissa or hot sauce
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup tahini (for sauce)
  • 1/4–1/3 cup cold water
  • 1–2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt (for sauce)

Instructions

  1. Mash the chickpeas in a bowl until mostly broken down, leaving some texture. Stir in tahini, lemon juice, celery, red onion, parsley, black pepper, salt, and cumin until well combined.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, cold water, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt. Start with 1/4 cup water and adjust until smooth and creamy.
  3. To assemble the wraps, spread harissa and tahini sauce down the center of each wrap. Add shredded lettuce, chickpea salad, and feta cheese.
  4. Roll the wraps tightly and serve immediately. Store leftover chickpea salad and sauce separately in the fridge for 4–5 days.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free or low-carb wraps based on dietary needs.
  • Warm wraps slightly before assembling to prevent tearing.
  • To make vegan, omit or replace feta with a plant-based alternative.
  • Add chopped cucumber, tomato, or olives for added Mediterranean flavor.
  • Chickpea salad is also great as a dip or sandwich filling.
