Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for desired spice level)

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 cup cooked quinoa

1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach

1/2 cup diced cucumber

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

4 whole grain or spinach wraps

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

1 lemon, cut into wedges (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a medium mixing bowl, lightly mash the drained and rinsed chickpeas with a fork or potato masher. Aim for a texture that is slightly chunky to provide a delightful bite.

    Spice it Up: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the mashed chickpeas followed by the cumin, coriander, turmeric, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and season generously with salt and black pepper. Sauté for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are thoroughly heated and the spices become aromatic.

      Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the spiced chickpeas with the cooked quinoa, chopped spinach, diced cucumber, diced red onion, and chopped parsley. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed and vibrant.

        Assemble the Wraps: Take each wrap and spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus across the center. Add a generous scoop of the chickpea filling on top of the hummus, ensuring to leave space along the edges for folding.

          Fold and Roll: Begin by folding the sides of the wrap inward, then carefully roll from the bottom up, making sure the filling stays securely inside. You can slice the wraps in half diagonally for easy handling and serving.

            Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the wraps on a plate, adding lemon wedges on the side for a zesty touch. These golden spiced wraps can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, perfect for a nutritious meal or snack!
