# How-To Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl, lightly mash chickpeas with a fork, leaving some chunky texture for optimal bite and visual appeal.
02 - Add parsley, red onion, carrot, cucumber, spinach, salt, and pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add cold water while whisking until the dressing reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
04 - Pour the prepared tahini dressing over the chickpea mixture and toss until all components are evenly coated.
05 - Lay out wraps on a clean work surface. Place a handful of mixed salad greens down the center of each wrap, then spoon the dressed chickpea filling evenly over the greens.
06 - Fold in the sides of each wrap and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Slice diagonally in half if desired and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Quick and easy - ready in just 15 minutes with no cooking required
  • Perfectly balanced flavors - creamy, zesty, fresh, and satisfying
  • Nutrient-dense - packed with protein, fiber, and fresh vegetables
  • Meal-prep friendly - components can be prepared ahead of time
  • Customizable - easily adapted to different dietary preferences
02 -
  • For the creamiest tahini dressing, make sure your tahini is well-stirred before measuring
  • If your tahini sauce seizes up (gets too thick), just add more cold water a teaspoon at a time until it reaches the desired consistency
  • Mash the chickpeas to your preferred texture - more mashed creates a spread-like consistency, while less mashing gives more texture
  • For meal prep, store the chickpea filling and dressing separately; assemble wraps just before eating
  • Toast your wraps lightly before filling for extra flavor and structure
