Ingredients

• 2 cups canned chickpeas
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tortilla wraps
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup sweet corn kernels
• 0.25 cup diced red onion
• 1 avocado
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
• 0.5 cup shredded cheese (optional)
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chickpeas, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the chickpeas in the spices.

Step 3

Cook the chickpeas for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly crispy and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

While the chickpeas are cooking, prepare the avocado dressing. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Mix in lime juice, cilantro, and Greek yogurt or sour cream. Season with a pinch of salt to taste.

Step 5

Warm the tortilla wraps in a microwave or on a dry skillet for about 15 seconds on each side to make them pliable.

Step 6

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a spoonful of avocado dressing across the center of the tortilla.

Step 7

Top the dressing with a portion of the cooked chickpeas, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sweet corn, and diced red onion. Add shredded cheese and a dash of hot sauce if desired.

Step 8

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to create a secure burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 9

Serve the chickpea burritos warm with extra avocado dressing or hot sauce on the side. Enjoy!
