Instructions:
- Using a fork or potato masher, lightly mash the drained and rinsed chickpeas in a large mixing bowl. You want them to be broken down but still have some chunky texture.

- Stir in the sunflower seeds. These will add a delightful crunch to the wraps.

- Divide the chickpea salad mixture evenly between the two tortillas. Spread the mixture down the center of each tortilla.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up from the bottom to enclose the filling.
- Cut the wraps in half, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Chickpea Salad Wraps with Sunflower Seeds!
Tips:
- Mash the chickpeas slightly using a fork or potato masher to create a more cohesive texture for the salad.
