Ingredients
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 medium carrots, grated
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 4 large tortillas or flatbreads
  • Optional: hot sauce for serving
Directions
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chickpeas, cumin, smoked paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the chickpeas evenly.
  2. Cook the chickpeas for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are warmed through and fragrant.
  3. While the chickpeas are cooking, in a small bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water until it reaches a drizzling consistency.
  4. Remove the skillet from heat and set it aside.
  5. Lay out the tortillas or flatbreads on a clean surface. Spread a generous spoonful of the tahini sauce over each wrap.
  6. Divide the chickpea mixture evenly among the wraps, followed by the grated carrots and chopped cilantro.
  7. Roll up each wrap tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Slice in half if desired, and serve with hot sauce for an extra kick.

This recipe draws its inspiration from the vibrant street food culture of Morocco, where spices and fresh ingredients are celebrated.
