Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped

¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (or vegan alternative)

¼ cup creamy Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Lemon wedges for an extra citrusy touch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a spacious mixing bowl, add the drained and rinsed chickpeas. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until each chickpea is evenly coated with the seasoning mix.

    Roast the Chickpeas: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, shaking the pan halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness. Once roasted, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

      Mix the Salad Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, crispy roasted chickpeas, grated Parmesan cheese, and creamy Caesar dressing. Gently toss all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated and well combined.

        Assemble the Wraps: Take one tortilla and place a generous portion of the chickpea Caesar salad mixture in the center. Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up from the bottom to form a secure wrap. Repeat this step for the remaining tortillas.

          Serve: For a more appealing presentation, cut each wrap in half diagonally. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a refreshing citrus finish.
