Avocado Chickpea Salad Wraps
⏱️ Prep Time: 15 minutes
These wraps are light, fresh, and incredibly satisfying—like a little plant-based lunch upgrade that comes together fast and doesn’t skimp on flavor.
Creamy avocado chickpea salad tucked inside soft whole wheat wraps—bright, crisp, and perfect for any time of day.
I started making these wraps when I needed something quick but still nourishing, and they’ve definitely earned a spot in the regular lunch rotation. The chickpeas bring the protein, the avocado adds that creamy element without needing mayo, and the lemon-cumin combo brightens everything up just enough. They feel filling, but never heavy.
What I love most is that they’re flexible. You can swap in whatever veggies you have on hand—I've done this with radishes, shredded carrots, even leftover grilled corn. And if you’re not in the mood to wrap them up, the filling makes an amazing salad topper or dip for crackers.
These wraps hold up great for a packed lunch or picnic too—just give the salad a little lemony toss before wrapping to keep everything vibrant and fresh.
