Ingredients
For the Roasted Beets & Chickpeas:
2 medium beets, peeled and cut into thin wedges
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
For the Garlic Yogurt Sauce:
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Wraps:
4 large whole wheat tortillas or flatbreads
1 cup shredded lettuce or baby spinach
1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
1 small carrot, julienned or shredded
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
Optional: crumbled feta cheese or avocado slices
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.
Notes
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.
