Ingredients
  

Roasted chickpeas
  • 2 can (15 oz) chickpeas drained, rinsed, and patted very dry
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt divided
Tahini sauce
  • 0.33 cup tahini
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cloves garlic finely grated
  • 3 tbsp cold water
Wraps
  • 4 flour tortillas 10-inch
  • 4 cup baby spinach
  • 1 cucumber medium, thinly sliced

Equipment

  • 1 rimmed baking sheet
  • 1 skillet

Method
 

Roast the chickpeas
  1. Heat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Pat the rinsed chickpeas very dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  3. Toss the chickpeas on a rimmed baking sheet with the olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, then spread in a single layer.
  4. Roast for 30–40 minutes, shaking the pan once halfway through, until browned and crisp.
  5. Cool for 5 minutes.
Make the tahini sauce
  1. Whisk the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
  2. Gradually whisk in the cold water until smooth and pourable.
Assemble the wraps
  1. Warm the tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds per side, just until flexible.
  2. Divide the spinach, cucumber, and roasted chickpeas among the tortillas, then drizzle with all the tahini sauce.
  3. Roll up the tortillas to serve.

Notes

Pat the chickpeas very dry before roasting so they brown and crisp. Store the filling and sauce separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; assembled wraps are best eaten fresh. Freezer: no. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas.
