A handful of baby spinach or arugula

Optional: sliced avocado or roasted red peppers

For the Yogurt Garlic Sauce

Juice of ½ lemon

1 small garlic clove, minced

1 tbsp chopped fresh dill or parsley

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Cook the Spiced Chickpeas

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add chickpeas, cumin, paprika, coriander, garlic powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.

Saute for 6–8 minutes, stirring often, until the chickpeas are golden and slightly crispy.

Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Make the Yogurt Garlic Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Assemble the Wrap

Warm your wraps or pitas slightly in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds.

Spread a generous spoonful of yogurt garlic sauce on each wrap.

Add a layer of greens, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and spiced chickpeas.

Sprinkle crumbled feta over the top.

Optional: drizzle with extra lemon juice or olive oil for brightness.

Roll up the wrap tightly and slice in half to serve.

Notes & Tips

Make it extra crispy: Roast the chickpeas in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes for extra crunch.

For meal prep: Store fillings separately and assemble wraps fresh to prevent sogginess.

Add grains: Add a spoonful of cooked quinoa or couscous for extra texture.

Vegan option: Use vegan feta and a plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free version.
