Chickpea Wrap

These chickpea wraps are delicious, and a bit spicy!

The chickpea, a very versatile legume, is present in Mediterranean cuisine and is integrated in many preparations such as couscous, falafel, etc. In this recipe they replace the meat that that is usually found in wraps—a delicious and healthy substitution.

Eating legumes is great for your health! These foods are naturally rich in vegetable proteins, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber.

In addition, their fat content is low and—like all plant foods—they don’t contain cholesterol.
