Heart-Healthy Indian Chickpea Wrap Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 whole wheat rotis (tortillas)

• 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added chickpeas, drained and rinsed

• 1 medium carrot, grated or julienned

• ½ medium onion, thinly sliced

• 1 green pepper, chopped

• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1 teaspoon ground coriander

• ¼ to ½ teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)

• ½ teaspoon chaat masala

• 1–2 teaspoons olive oil, avocado oil

• 2–4 tablespoons homemade coriander (cilantro) chutney

• Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the oil.

2. Add the sliced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.

3. Stir in the grated ginger and cook for about 30 seconds.

4. Add the grated carrot and cook for another 2–3 minutes.

5. Add the chickpeas, cumin, coriander powder, chili powder, and chaat masala. Stir well until everything is evenly coated. Cook for 4–5 minutes, gently mashing a few chickpeas to help the filling hold together.

   

6. Warm the whole wheat rotis (tortillas) in a dry skillet until soft and flexible.

   

7. Spoon the warm chickpea and vegetable filling onto the tortillas.

8. Spread homemade coriander chutney across each tortilla. I add the chutney on top of the filling to prevent sogging of the roti (tortilla). 

   

9. Fold in the sides, roll tightly, and serve immediately while warm.

   
   
   

Tips for the Best Chickpea Wrap

For the best texture, rinse and drain the canned chickpeas thoroughly before cooking. Gently mashing a portion of the chickpeas creates a filling that stays together and makes the wrap easier to eat.

If you enjoy extra heat, increase the chili powder or add finely chopped green chilies while cooking the vegetables. You can also include spinach, shredded cabbage, or different colored bell peppers for additional nutrients and color.

Meal prepping is easy with this recipe. Prepare the filling in advance and refrigerate it for up to three days. Simply warm the filling, spread fresh coriander chutney on a whole wheat tortilla, assemble the wrap, and enjoy.
