Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed thoroughly

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1/2 cup barbecue sauce

1/4 cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1 cup mixed salad greens (such as romaine, spinach, and kale)

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 ripe avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for the chickpeas.

    Prepare the Chickpeas: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Use a spoon or spatula to stir until all the chickpeas are evenly coated with the seasoning.

      Roast the Chickpeas: Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chickpeas are golden brown and crunchy. Remember to shake the baking sheet halfway through roasting to ensure even crisping.

        Mix the Sauces: While the chickpeas are roasting, take a small bowl and combine the barbecue sauce and ranch dressing. Stir well until the mixture is cohesive and set aside.

          Prepare the Tortillas: Once the chickpeas are crispy and ready, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface and generously spread the BBQ ranch sauce mixture over each tortilla.

            Assemble the Wraps: On each tortilla, layer a handful of mixed salad greens, a sprinkling of shredded carrots, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a good portion of the crispy chickpeas.

              Wrap It Up: To wrap, carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom up, tucking the filling as you go. Ensure the wrap is completely sealed.

                Serve and Enjoy: For easier handling, slice each wrap in half diagonally. Consider drizzling any remaining BBQ ranch sauce on top or garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for an added touch of flavor and color.
