Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

4 whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 avocado, sliced

1/2 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup creamy ranch or cashew dressing (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Season the Chickpeas: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chickpeas until they are evenly coated with the spices.

      Roast the Chickpeas: Spread the seasoned chickpeas onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast them in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are crispy, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking.

        Prepare the Wraps: While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare your wrap ingredients. Slice the avocado, dice the tomatoes, and chop the red onion and cilantro.

          Assemble the Wraps: Once the chickpeas are done, take a tortilla and layer it with a handful of lettuce, a few spoonfuls of the roasted chickpeas, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

            Add Dressing: Drizzle your creamy ranch or cashew dressing over the top of the fillings.

              Wrap it Up: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to encase the filling. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.

                Serve: Cut the wraps in half and enjoy your Spicy Cajun Chickpea Wraps warm or at room temperature!
