Ingredients

Servings: 2
400g (15 oz) Canned chickpeas
1 medium (about 150g) Avocado
2 tbsp (30ml) Fresh lime juice
2 tbsp (about 5g) Fresh cilantro
2 tbsp (about 30g) Red onion
1/4 tsp (1.5g) Salt
1/8 tsp (0.5g) Black pepper
2 large (about 20-25cm diameter) Whole-grain tortillas

Steps

1

In a medium bowl, add the rinsed and drained chickpeas. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the chickpeas until they are mostly broken down but still have some texture. Do not mash them into a smooth paste.

2

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the mashed chickpeas. Add the fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, and finely diced red onion.

3

Gently mix all the ingredients together using a fork until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the avocado mushy. Season with salt and black pepper to your taste.

4

Warm the whole-grain tortillas slightly to make them more pliable. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or by microwaving them for 15-20 seconds.

5

Divide the chickpea and avocado mixture evenly between the two warmed tortillas. Spoon the filling onto the center of each tortilla.

6

Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then tightly roll them up from the bottom to create wraps. If desired, you can slice the wraps in half before serving.
