Step 5

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

Step 6

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For the creamiest chickpea salad, be sure to mash the chickpeas well but leave some chunks for a pleasant texture. The coconut yogurt adds a subtle tropical note that complements the curry powder beautifully. If your curry powder has been in the pantry for a while, consider using a fresh batch as the spices will provide a more vibrant flavor profile.

Varianten und Anpassungen

This versatile recipe welcomes many adaptations. For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some finely diced jalapeño. If you prefer a different protein source, cooked lentils can substitute for chickpeas. For those who enjoy a fruitier taste, add some diced mango or raisins to the salad mixture. The wraps can also be served as an open-faced sandwich or scooped onto a bed of greens for a lower-carb option.

Serviervorschläge

These wraps make a complete meal on their own, but they pair wonderfully with a side of fresh fruit or a light soup. For a more substantial meal, serve with a side of roasted sweet potatoes or a simple grain salad. As suggested in the recipe notes, fresh lime wedges and mango chutney make excellent accompaniments that enhance the curry flavors.
