A protein-packed vegan wrap featuring creamy chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh crunchy vegetables.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Chickpea Chicken Salad

01 - 2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
02 - 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
03 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
04 - 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
05 - 2 stalks celery, finely diced
06 - 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
07 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
08 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
09 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
10 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
11 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Wraps

12 - 4 large flour tortillas or gluten-free wraps
13 - 2 cups mixed salad greens (baby spinach, arugula, romaine)
14 - 1 medium carrot, julienned or grated
15 - 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly broken up, leaving some texture for substance.
02 - Add the vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, sun-dried tomatoes, celery, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
03 - Lay out the tortillas and layer each with a handful of salad greens, carrot, and cucumber slices.
04 - Spoon approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the chickpea salad mixture onto each wrap.
05 - Roll up each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The chickpea texture mimics chicken salad so convincingly that even non-vegans stop asking questions and just enjoy eating.
  • Twenty minutes from start to finish means you can make these on a lazy weeknight without stress.
  • High in protein and fiber, so you won't be hungry an hour later like you would with regular sandwich wraps.
02 -
  • Overstuffing these wraps is the number one mistake; resist the urge to load them like burritos or they fall apart mid-bite and make a mess.
  • Make the chickpea salad ahead of time if you want because it actually tastes better after a few hours when the flavors have mingled together.
03 -
  • Warm your tortillas slightly before filling them because cold ones crack, but don't overheat or they become difficult to work with and tear.
  • The secret that elevates these from good to memorable is making sure every element is prepped finely so you get all the flavors in each bite rather than mostly chickpea with occasional vegetable surprise.
