My initial plan was to go for an avocado toast with chickpeas – may or may not have even tried it out and done a shoot – but that didn’t look nearly as pretty as this.

These were definitely a major upgrade!

And the thing is, they’re way easier to put together too because you don’t need to toast a slice of bread.

Just spread that smooth avocado spread on a fresh pita bread, throw on the chickpea and fold them as wraps. Voila!

What you need for these avocado chickpea wraps:

Chickpeas: I cooked mine from dry, but you can use the canned kind too. I’d recommend low sodium, and make sure you drain them well. Btw these are also called garbanzo beans depending on where you are or where that can came from.
Spices: This is to make the toasted/roasted chickpeas. I use Paprika, Garlic Powder and some Black Pepper.
You don’t really need the salt, especially for canned chickpeas, but feel free to add a pinch.
Avocado: Use a nicely ripe one here so that the spread actually turns smooth and not chunky – unless that’s what you’re shooting for.
To check whether the avocado is ripe, just lightly squeeze it. It should be slightly soft, but not squishy.
Yogurt: This is what makes the avocado sauce actually creamy so you can spread it easily on the pita bread.
Cilantro: I may or may not have gone overboard on this, but come on, it’s got such a beautiful smell!
Lemon (or lime) Juice: This keeps the avo spread fresh a little longer since it acts as a natural preservative. And then also adds a slight tangy taste too!
Salt & Pepper coz avo really doesn’t taste like much itself.

An easy avocado and roasted chickpea salad wrap or sandwich made with spicy or just regular spiced and roasted chickpeas, a creamy avocado dip and some fresh pita or naan bread.

How to make these wraps?

Toss the chickpeas in the paprika, garlic powder and black pepper, and lightly toast them on a skillet. I even tried cooking them in an air fryer at 350°F for the same 3-5 minutes and they turned out beautiful.
While that’s happening, blend the avocado, yogurt, cilantro, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a food processor to make the creamy spread.
If you want, then lightly toast the pita, but it really isn’t needed here. I just had mine fresh.
Spread the avocado sauce on the pita bread, add the spiced roasted chickpeas and garnish with cilantro and some onion.

Make this recipe into a Vegan avocado toast or tuna salad with roasted chickpeas by using a good whole wheat bread!

Options?

You can also use a naan bread here or even regular toast if you’d like, maybe turn it into a sandwich instead of a wrap, but same avocado, same spicy roasted chickpeas/garbanzo beans! One of the best avocado toast topping ideas here.

Play around with the spices for the chickpeas – you can try chili powder, cumin, or even a hint of cayenne pepper for some heat.

I used Greek yogurt, but you can opt for a coconut or almond based one to make these chickpea avocado wraps dairy free and Vegan.

Drop the pita bread and use greens instead to make this kind of a Vegan avocado and roasted chickpea tuna salad instead. Just as good!

Or keep the pita and greens to turn it into a spicy chickpea avocado salad sandwich!
