These wraps have become my go-to meal prep solution for busy weekdays. The chickpea salad actually improves after sitting in the refrigerator for a few hours, allowing the curry flavors to deepen and meld. I've served these at casual gatherings too, sliced into pinwheels, and they always disappear within minutes - even among non-vegan friends!

Ingredients

• For the Chickpea Salad:
• 2 cups (1 can, 15 oz) cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/3 cup coconut yogurt (unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon mild curry powder
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup finely diced celery
• 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• For the Wrap Assembly:
• 4 large flour or whole wheat tortillas (or gluten-free wraps)
• 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
• 1 medium carrot, julienned or grated
• 1/2 cucumber, sliced into thin strips

Instructions

Prepare the chickpea salad base

In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly broken up, leaving some chunks for texture.

Add the dressing ingredients

Add coconut yogurt, vegan mayonnaise, curry powder, lime juice, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Incorporate the vegetables

Fold in the celery, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.

Taste and adjust

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Assemble the wraps

Lay out the tortillas. Place a handful of spinach or greens down the center of each tortilla.

Fill the wraps

Top with the chickpea curry salad, then add carrot and cucumber strips.

Roll them up

Fold in the sides and roll up tightly into a wrap.

Serve or store

Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Die Konsistenz der Kichererbsenmasse ist wichtig für das Gelingen des Wraps. Die Kichererbsen sollten größtenteils zerdrückt werden, aber einige Stückchen für Textur behalten. Wenn der Salat zu trocken wirkt, einfach einen Esslöffel mehr Kokosnussjoghurt hinzufügen. Um Zeit zu sparen, können Sie die Kichererbsenmischung bereits am Vortag zubereiten und im Kühlschrank aufbewahren.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Diese Wraps lassen sich wunderbar an persönliche Vorlieben anpassen. Für eine schärfere Version können Sie etwas Sriracha oder frische Jalapeños hinzufügen. Wenn Sie keine Koriander mögen, ist Petersilie oder Basilikum eine gute Alternative. Für eine proteinreichere Variante können Sie auch gekochte Quinoa unter die Kichererbsenmasse mischen. Bei Glutenunverträglichkeit einfach zu glutenfreien Wraps greifen.

Serviervorschläge

Diese Wraps schmecken hervorragend mit einem frischen Mango-Chutney oder einer leichten Gurkensalat-Beilage. Für ein vollständiges Mittagessen können Sie einen gemischten Salat mit Zitronendressing dazu servieren. Als leichtes Abendessen passen geröstete Süßkartoffelwedges oder eine einfache Tomatensuppe perfekt dazu. Vergessen Sie nicht, frische Limettenspalten zum Ausdrücken über den Wrap anzubieten - das hebt alle Aromen!
