Equipment

  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Vitamix or blender

Ingredients

  • 1 15.5 oz. Chickpeas, canned
  • 1 Lemon
  • 6-8 Basil leaves, fresh
  • 1 tbsp. Olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp. Aleppo Pepper
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 Tomato
  • 1/2 Avocado
  • 1/2 cup Arugula
  • Water (optional)
  • 2 Lavash bread, whole wheat

Instructions

  • Chickpea Filling:
    Drain your chickpeas and rinse under cold water. Add the rinsed chickpeas to your Vitamix or other blender. Add in the juice of one lemon, aleppo pepper, basil leaves and olive oil. Begin blending mixture until smooth. If mixture seems a bit dry and hard to blend, add a little bit of water or olive oil to loosen it up. Scrape down sides of Vitamix and blend again until smooth. Taste mixture, adding salt and pepper as desired. Give it a few pulses on blender to be sure well blended. You lemony chickpea mash is ready. Set aside.
  • Assembly of Wrap:
    Thinly slice your tomato and 1/2 of an avocado. Wash 1/2 cup of arugula and pat dry.
    Lay your lavash bread on a cutting board for a good work surface. Add half of the chickpea mash onto the end of the lavash. Next, add a row of tomato on top of chickpea mixture. Add avocado on top of the tomato and top it off with arugula.
    Using both hands, begin to roll the side with the wrap ingredients and roll toward the empty side. Make sure you are rolling it relatively tight to ensure the wrap stays in tact. Wrap should stay secure. Slice wrap sandwich in half. Enjoy!
