Ingredients
Scale
Chickpea Mixture
- â…” cup cooked chickpeas
- 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce, divided
Fresh Vegetables
- 2 cups lettuce, washed and chopped
- 2 roma tomatoes, finely chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
Wraps and Dressing
- 2 wraps (tortillas)
- 5 tablespoons homemade oil-free ranch dressing
Instructions
- Heat Chickpeas: In a small pot, combine the cooked chickpeas with 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce. Heat over medium heat for 5 minutes until the chickpeas are warm and sticky, stirring occasionally to evenly coat. After heating, mix in the remaining 1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce to ensure full flavor coverage.
- Warm Wraps: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly warm each wrap for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable. Alternatively, microwave each wrap for 15-30 seconds until warm.
- Assemble Wraps: Place a warmed wrap on a plate. Layer on a portion of the BBQ chickpeas followed by chopped lettuce and tomatoes. Drizzle 2.5 tablespoons of homemade oil-free ranch dressing evenly over the fillings, then squeeze the juice of half a lime for added zest.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the wrap tightly around the fillings, then cut it in half if desired. Repeat assembly with second wrap and remaining ingredients. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful BBQ chickpea wraps!
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of barbecue sauce according to your taste preference for sweetness or smokiness.
- The wraps can be warmed in a microwave or skillet depending on your convenience.
- For added protein, consider adding grilled chicken or tofu if not sticking strictly to vegetarian options.
- Homemade oil-free ranch dressing keeps this recipe healthy and light; store-bought ranch can be used but may increase fat content.
- Leftover wraps can be refrigerated but are best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture.
