Tools You’ll Need

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Beets and Chickpeas
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss beet wedges and chickpeas in olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until beets are tender and chickpeas are golden and slightly crispy.
Let cool slightly before assembling wraps.

Step 2: Make the Garlic Yogurt Sauce
In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Adjust seasoning to taste.
Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 3: Prep the Fresh Veggies
While beets and chickpeas roast, wash and chop lettuce, cucumber, carrot, and red onion.
Chop herbs and optional toppings like avocado or feta.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
Warm the tortillas briefly to make them pliable.
Spread a generous spoonful of garlic yogurt sauce in the center of each tortilla.
Layer lettuce, roasted beets, chickpeas, cucumber, carrot, red onion, and herbs.
Top with extra sauce, feta, or avocado if desired.
Fold the bottom up and sides in, then roll tightly into a wrap.

Step 5: Serve or Store
Serve immediately or wrap in foil for a portable meal.
Wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Tips for the Best Wraps
Cut Beets Evenly – Uniform slices help them roast evenly and fit nicely in wraps.
Crisp Up Chickpeas – Roast until slightly golden for added texture.
Use Greek Yogurt – It’s thick, creamy, and adds a tangy contrast to the sweet beets.
Warm Tortillas – Helps them fold better without tearing.
Don’t Overfill – Keeping wraps neat makes them easier to eat and pack.

Serving Suggestions
Side of Sweet Potato Chips – For crunch and a touch of sweetness.
Lemon-Infused Water – Complements the fresh, tangy flavors.
Fruit Salad – A refreshing balance to the hearty wrap.
Hummus & Pita Chips – A great side or extra dip option.

How to Store & Reheat

Storing:
Refrigerate: Store wraps tightly wrapped in foil or plastic wrap for up to 2 days.
Keep components separate if storing longer to prevent sogginess.

Reheating:
Reheat chickpeas and beets separately in a skillet or microwave if desired.
Assemble fresh when ready to eat.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use canned beets instead of roasting fresh ones?
   Yes, but roasted beets offer a richer flavor and texture.
2. What can I substitute for yogurt in the sauce?
   Use a dairy-free yogurt or hummus for a vegan version.
3. Can I add protein?
   Absolutely—try grilled chicken, turkey, or falafel for extra protein.
4. Are these wraps freezer-friendly?
   Not recommended as the veggies and yogurt sauce don’t freeze well.
