Description
These Chickpea Caesar Salad Wraps are a great healthy, plant based lunch that can be made ahead of time and taken on the go! They’re great for work lunches, hikes, picnics and more. The caesar dressing is made using tahini and goes so well with the seasoned chickpeas. Make with romaine lettuce or kale.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3–4 cups chopped romaine lettuce, 1 large head or 2 smaller heads
- 1/2 cup caesar dressing (I used my dairy free Tahini Caesar Dressing recipe)
- 1/2 cup freshly shredded, or shaved, parmesan cheese (I like the big shards for this recipe)
- 1 cup croutons, I like to crush mine up a little bit so they are in smaller pieces
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed with a fork (optional)
- 2–3 large wraps
Instructions
- Rinse and drain your chickpeas and then pat them dry. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a couple teaspoons of olive oil. Next, add in the chickpeas, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Mix everything together and let cook until chickpeas are warmed through and getting crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Add your chopped romaine lettuce to a medium sized bowl and toss with about 1/3 – 1/2 cup of the caesar dressing. Next, add in the parmesan cheese and croutons and give another quick mix.
- Lay your wrap on a clean, flat surface. Spread the bottom with a big spoonful of the mashed avocado and then top with about 1/3 of the chickpeas. Top the chickpeas with a few big spoonfuls of the Caesar salad mix and carefully fold the sides of the wrap in and roll up tightly. I like to place my wrap, fold side down, in a hot pan with a little cooking spray to help seal everything in, it’s totally optional though. Cut wrap in half and enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to add extra veggies, like red onion and tomato if you like.
