Chickpea salad wraps with sunflower seeds

Chickpea salad wraps with sunflower seeds are a delicious, nutritious, and easy-to-make meal option. Packed with protein from chickpeas and a delightful crunch from sunflower seeds, these wraps make for a perfect lunch or light dinner. The combination of fresh vegetables and zesty flavors ensures every bite is satisfying and wholesome.

Instructions:

1. Prepare Chickpeas:
- 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.
2. Chop Vegetables:
- Finely chop the celery, onion, and pickles. Ensure they are bite-sized pieces for even distribution in the wraps.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- Add the chopped celery, onion, pickles, and fresh dill to the bowl with the mashed chickpeas. Mix well.
4. Season the Mixture:
- Add the minced garlic and mustard to the chickpea mixture. Drizzle in the lemon juice and stir until all ingredients are well combined.
5. Add Sunflower Seeds:
- Stir in the sunflower seeds. These will add a delightful crunch to the wraps.
6. Season to Taste:
- Add a dash of salt and black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
7. Prepare Tortillas:
- Lay out the two tortillas on a flat surface. If you prefer warm wraps, you can lightly heat the tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side.
8. Assemble Wraps:
- Divide the chickpea salad mixture evenly between the two tortillas. Spread the mixture down the center of each tortilla.
9. Wrap It Up:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up from the bottom to enclose the filling.
10. Serve:
- 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.

- Toast the sunflower seeds lightly in a skillet before adding them to the salad for an extra layer of flavor.

- Feel free to customize the wraps by adding other fresh vegetables like bell peppers, cucumber, or shredded carrots for added crunch and nutrition.

- For a vegan option, ensure the tortillas are free from animal products.

- Add a bit of your favorite hot sauce or a dash of smoked paprika for an added kick of flavor.

- Refrigerate the chickpea salad before assembling the wraps to allow the flavors to meld together, making it even more delicious.
