Chickpea Curry Wrap

The Chickpea Curry Wrap is a flavorful and satisfying vegetarian dish that combines spiced chickpeas with fresh vegetables, all wrapped in a soft tortilla. It's a perfect option for a quick and nutritious lunch that packs a punch of taste and texture.

Ingredients

• Chickpeas - 400 grams (canned, drained and rinsed)
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Onion - 1 medium, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Curry powder - 1 tablespoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Tomato paste - 2 tablespoons
• Coconut milk - 200 ml
• Spinach - 100 grams, fresh
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Whole wheat tortillas - 2 large
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges

Steps

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the curry powder, cumin, and coriander, cooking for an additional minute to bloom the spices.
4. Add the drained chickpeas and tomato paste to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the chickpeas are well-coated.
5. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until wilted. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
7. While the curry simmers, warm the whole wheat tortillas in a separate pan for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
8. To assemble the wraps, spoon the chickpea curry mixture onto each tortilla, top with sliced avocado, and squeeze lime juice over the filling.
9. Roll up the tortillas tightly, slice in half, and serve immediately.
