Spiced Chickpea Wraps

The full title is Spiced Chickpea Wraps with Tahini dressing. When I first made this, I was so impressed at how much it tasted like a falafel sandwich, which I LOVE, so it fast became a favorite. It’s pretty simple, and I really need to shout out to Thug Kitchen, where this recipe comes from. I also like the way the author writes, making cooking fun and simple and profane! You begin with cooking the chickpeas till they begin to pop like popcorn, then you cook down a liquid blend of soy, maple syrup and lemon juice before adding a spice blend including garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper and peri peri. To serve it, you steam a large tortilla, and lay down a bed of fresh spinach, matchstick carrots and cucumber on top of a spread of tahini dressing Spoon the chickpeas on top of the vegetables and add another dollop of tahini dressing and you are off the delicious races! To make tahini dressing, you add tahini to lemon juice, olive oil, water, soy sauce and dash of rice wine vinegar. A couple cloves of finely chopped garlic and a little salt, pepper and peri peri go a long way. Also, you play with the amount of liquid to get the consistency, taste and texture right! Wrap it up and go to town! It’s definitely one of our favorite meals!
