Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 red bell pepper, roasted (jarred or homemade)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and black pepper to taste

4 whole wheat or spinach wraps

1 cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or lettuce)

1 avocado, sliced

1/2 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh herbs for garnish (cilantro or parsley, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a medium bowl, mash the chickpeas lightly with a fork. Leave some whole for texture.

    Mix Spices: Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until well combined.

      Prepare the Roasted Pepper: If you're using a jarred roasted red pepper, slice it into strips. If roasting at home, preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C), place the whole red bell pepper on a baking sheet, and roast for 20-25 minutes until the skin is charred. Let it cool before peeling and slicing.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay out a wrap and spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly across it. Spoon a generous amount of the smoky chickpea mixture in the center.

          Add Fillings: Top with mixed greens, roasted red pepper strips, and avocado slices. Sprinkle fresh herbs if desired.

            Wrap It Up: Carefully fold the sides of the wrap inward, then roll it from the bottom up to enclose all the fillings. Slice in half diagonally for easier eating. Repeat with the remaining wraps.

              Serve: Arrange the wraps on a plate and serve immediately, or wrap them in foil for an on-the-go meal.
