Ingredients

Scale

For the Wraps:

4 large flour tortillas (or gluten-free wraps, if preferred)
1½ cups canned or cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 medium beets, peeled and chopped into wedges
2 cups chopped romaine or mixed greens
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Tahini-Lemon Sauce:

¼ cup tahini (sesame paste)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons water (more if needed for consistency)
½ teaspoon cumin
Salt to taste

Optional Add-Ons:

Pickled red onions
Feta cheese crumbles (or vegan feta)
Cucumber slices
Crushed red pepper flakes or sumac for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Beets

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss beet wedges with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 2: Prepare the Chickpeas

While the beets are roasting, warm the chickpeas in a skillet over medium heat with a pinch of salt, pepper, and optional cumin for flavor depth. Heat for 5–7 minutes until warmed through and lightly crisped on the edges.

Step 3: Make the Tahini-Lemon Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, and salt. Gradually add water until it reaches a creamy but pourable consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 4: Warm the Wraps

Gently heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable. This step helps prevent tearing during wrapping.

Step 5: Assemble the Wraps

Lay each tortilla flat. Add a handful of chopped greens, followed by a scoop of chickpeas, several roasted beet slices, and a generous drizzle of tahini-lemon sauce. Add optional toppings if desired.

Step 6: Wrap and Serve

Fold in the sides, roll tightly from the bottom, and slice diagonally for presentation. Serve warm or chilled—these wraps are delicious either way.
