Ingredients

• 4 Sausages (pork or chicken, or vegetarian sausage for vegetarian option)
• 1 cup Cooked chickpeas (for vegetarian option)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 Flatbreads or large whole-wheat tortillas
• 1 cup Cucumber, diced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled (optional for vegetarian or sausage version)
• 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh mint, chopped (optional)
• 4 Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Cook the sausages until browned and fully cooked (approximately 8-10 minutes). Remove and slice into bite-sized pieces. For the vegetarian option, skip this step and proceed to the chickpeas.

Step 3

In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the cooked chickpeas, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are crispy and coated in spices.

Step 4

While the protein cooks, prepare the fresh vegetables. Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion. Crumble the feta cheese (if using) and chop the fresh parsley and mint.

Step 5

Warm the flatbreads or tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or until soft and pliable.

Step 6

To assemble the wraps, spread 1-2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce onto each flatbread. Layer the sausage or spiced chickpeas, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese (if using). Sprinkle with parsley and mint.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the flatbread inward and roll tightly to form a wrap.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a lemon wedge on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
