Ingredients

Scale

For the Roasted Beet & Chickpea Filling:

  • 2 medium beets, peeled and diced

  • 1½ cups canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

  • ¼ tsp ground cumin

  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Smoky Tahini-Lemon Sauce:

  • ¼ cup tahini

  • 1½ tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 clove garlic, grated

  • 1½ tbsp warm water (or more for consistency)

  • Pinch of sea salt

For the Carrot Slaw:

  • 1 cup shredded carrots

  • ½ cup shredded red cabbage

  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley or cilantro

  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • Salt to taste

For the Wraps:

  • 24 large whole grain, gluten-free, or flour tortillas

  • Optional: baby spinach, arugula, or microgreens

  • Optional: thinly sliced avocado for creaminess


Instructions

Step 1

Roast the Beets and Chickpeas
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the diced beets and chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer and roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Beets should be fork-tender and chickpeas golden and crisp on the edges.

Step 2

Mix the Carrot Slaw
In a medium bowl, combine shredded carrots, red cabbage, parsley, vinegar, olive oil, and salt. Toss well and let sit for at least 10 minutes. This softens the veggies and melds the flavors.

Step 3

Prepare the Smoky Tahini-Lemon Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, and salt. Slowly add warm water, whisking until you reach a drizzle-able consistency. Adjust lemon or salt to taste.

Step 4

Warm the Wraps
Heat your tortillas on a dry skillet for about 15 seconds per side until soft and pliable. This prevents tearing and helps them wrap smoothly.

Step 5

Assemble the Wraps
Lay your tortilla flat and layer with greens (if using), a generous scoop of the roasted beet and chickpea mixture, a handful of carrot slaw, and a drizzle (or two!) of the tahini-lemon sauce. Add sliced avocado if desired. Roll tightly, slice in half, and serve.
