Preparation Steps
1
Rinse the chickpeas. In a skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the chickpeas with ground cumin and chili powder for 5 minutes, until fragrant.
2
Finely chop the red onion and garlic, then add them to the chickpeas. Sauté for another 3 minutes, or until the onion is softened.
3
Dice the bell pepper and tomato into small cubes, then stir them into the chickpea mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 3 minutes.
4
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Mix in the lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
5
Warm the tortilla wraps in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side, until pliable.
6
Place a handful of fresh spinach on each tortilla, followed by a portion of the chickpea mixture and a spoonful of mashed avocado.
7
Roll up the wraps tightly, then cut them in half. Serve immediately, drizzled with a little extra lemon juice if desired.
