15 Minute Chickpea Wraps with Garlic Sauce | Easy Heart-Healthy Recipe

These Chickpea Wraps with Garlic Sauce are the perfect dish for any occasion. They´re made with the simplest ingredients and come together in just 15 minutes. Serve them as a tapas appetizer or even as a main course, next to some roasted potatoes and a bottle of Spanish wine.

The best part about these Chickpea Wraps? They feel like comfort food, except they´re actually healthy for you. We´re talking a protein punch from the chickpeas and zero-cholesterol. Talk about heart-healthy food that packs a ton of goodness.

To make this recipe, I used jarred chickpeas, which is the same thing as the canned ones. I also used baby romaine lettuce to make the wraps. But you can use any type of lettuce you like or even mexican corn or flour tortillas.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: The chickpeas and garlic sauce can be prepped ahead of time and added into the fridge. They will hold for up 3 days. I topped off the wraps with chopped red onion and tomato. But you can also add in some sliced avocado and/or pickles.

Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
MY NONSTICK FRYING PAN
EXTRA VIRGIN SPANISH OLIVE OIL
SPANISH CHICKPEAS I USED
SPANISH PAPRIKA
SPANISH SEA SALT
