Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 large red bell pepper, roasted (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

4 whole wheat or spinach wraps

1 cup mixed greens (choose from spinach, arugula, or any lettuce of your choice)

1 ripe avocado, sliced

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

Optional: Fresh herbs for garnish (such as cilantro or parsley)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork to mash the drained chickpeas to your desired consistency, ensuring to leave some whole for added texture in your wraps.

    Mix the Spices: Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and olive oil to the mashed chickpeas. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined and the chickpeas are evenly coated in the spices.

      Prepare the Roasted Red Pepper: If using jarred roasted red peppers, simply remove them and slice into strips. If you prefer roasting your own, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the whole red bell pepper on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the skin is well charred. Once cooked, allow it to cool slightly before peeling off the skin and slicing it into strips.

        Assemble the Wraps: Take a wrap of your choice and spread approximately 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly across the surface.

          Add the Fillings: Spoon a generous amount of the smoky chickpea mixture in the center of the wrap. Then, layer on the mixed greens, strips of roasted red pepper, and avocado slices. If you wish, sprinkle fresh herbs on top for an extra burst of flavor.

            Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of the wrap to secure the fillings, then roll it from the bottom upward, ensuring that everything is tightly enclosed. For ease of eating, slice the wrap in half diagonally. Repeat this process with the remaining wraps.

              Serve: Place the assembled wraps on a serving platter. They can be enjoyed immediately or wrapped in foil for a convenient on-the-go meal.

                  - Presentation Tips: Consider serving the wraps alongside a small bowl of extra hummus for dipping, and garnish the plate with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for a colorful and inviting presentation.
