Sriracha Chickpea Salad Wraps

P.S. I jazzed my Sriracha Chickpea Salad up a bit with cilantro and lemon juice, but if you only have mayo and sriracha on hand, this still makes a really easy and delicious chickpea salad.

Sriracha Chickpea Salad Wraps

Creamy, spicy, and filling, these Sriracha Chickpea Salad Wraps are an easy option for your brown bag lunch. Customize to use whatever vegetables you have!

Sriracha Chickpea Salad

1 15oz. can chickpeas ($0.59)
1/3 cup mayonnaise ($0.55)
1.5 Tbsp sriracha (or to taste) ($0.09)
2 Tbsp chopped cilantro ($0.25)
1 tsp lemon juice ($0.04)
1/8 tsp salt ($0.01)

Wrap Ingredients

2 large flour tortillas ($0.48)
2 cups spinach ($0.50)
1 carrot, thinly sliced or shredded ($0.11)
1/2 bell pepper ($0.75)

Drain the chickpeas, then add them to a bowl with the mayonnaise, sriracha, cilantro, lemon juice, and salt. (You may want to start with less sriracha and add more to taste if you are sensitive to heat). Mash the chickpeas until they are fairly broken down and the dressing ingredients have combined.
To build the wraps, place the tortillas on a work surface and add half of the spinach, carrot sticks, bell pepper, and sriracha chickpea salad to each one. Fold the sides in toward the center, then roll from the bottom up, like a burrito. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.

You can use any vegetables that you have on hand. I happened to have carrots and bell pepper, but you could use cucumber, shredded cabbage, avocado, tomatoes, or anything else you’d like.

Drain one 15oz. can of chickpeas, then add them to a bowl along with 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1.5 Tbsp sriracha (or less to start, you can add more later to taste), about 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro, 1 tsp lemon juice, and 1/8 tsp salt.

Mash the chickpeas until they are fairly broken down and the dressing ingredients have combined.

Now it’s time to build the wraps! On each large tortilla place a handful or a loosely packed cup of spinach, a few thin carrot strips (or shredded carrot), and a few strips of bell pepper.

Add half of the sriracha chickpea salad (about 1 cup) on top of the vegetables.

Fold the sides of the tortilla in toward the center, then roll it from the bottom up like a burrito. Your Sriracha Chickpea Salad Wrap is now ready to eat! You can eat it immediately or refrigerate it for later.
