Ingredients
- For the Wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas or gluten-free wraps
- 1 ½ 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
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). 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.
- While the beets are roasting, warm the chickpeas in a skillet over medium heat with a pinch of salt, pepper, and optional cumin. Heat for 5–7 minutes until warmed through and lightly crisped on the edges.
- In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, and salt. Gradually add water until the sauce reaches a creamy but pourable consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Gently heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable to prevent tearing during wrapping.
- Lay each tortilla flat and 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.
- Fold in the sides, roll tightly from the bottom, and slice diagonally for presentation. Serve warm or chilled.
