Chef Tips
- Cook the chickpeas until very soft to facilitate rustic mashing with a fork without needing a blender.
- Mix the tahini with the lemon juice before adding to the chickpeas to obtain a smoother and well-dispersed emulsion.
- Sanitize and dry the spinach leaves perfectly so as not to compromise the consistency of the rolled tortilla.
Variations
- Touch of paprika: add half a teaspoon of smoked paprika and ground cumin to the chickpea paste for earthy notes.
- Crispy pickles: add slices of cucumber pickles or quick-pickled red onion to accentuate the acidity of the snack.
- Seed version: finish with 1 teaspoon of sunflower seeds or black sesame seeds over the vegetables before rolling.
Substitutions
- The traditional sesame tahini can be replaced by sugar-free peanut butter or extra virgin olive oil.
- Whole wheat tortillas can be replaced with fresh, sanitized collard green leaves or whole wheat pita bread.
- Raw spinach can be swapped for young arugula leaves, watercress, or finely sliced chard without altering the balance.
How to Store
Wrap the finished wraps in plastic wrap or parchment paper and keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for quick consumption. For the best crunch, keep the chickpea spread separate and assemble at the moment of eating.
Can You Freeze It?
Do not freeze assembled wraps with raw vegetables and fresh spinach. Chickpea paste with tahini can be frozen separately in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 60 days without consistency change.
What to Serve With
Accompany with a portion of oven-baked sweet potato chips, cherry tomatoes seasoned with olive oil, or cold carrot soup. To drink, serve with chilled coconut water or very refreshing natural passion fruit juice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned chickpeas in this recipe?
Yes, just drain all the water from the canned goods, wash the grains under running water to eliminate excess sodium, and mash well.
How to soften spinach leaves to make them easier to bite?
Use small, young baby spinach leaves or remove the long stems from larger leaves before arranging in the wrap.
What to do if the chickpea paste gets too dry?
Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of warm water or olive oil and stir vigorously until reaching a creamy and unctuous texture.
How to prevent the filling from escaping through the ends of the wrap?
Leave a free border of about 2 centimeters all around the tortilla and fold the side flaps inward before rolling.
