Instructions

- Step 2: Roast the Chickpeas For a flavorful crunch, roast the chickpeas in the air fryer or in the oven. (see notes below).400 grams canned chickpeas, drained
- Step 3: Toast the Wraps This can be done on the stove in a skillet or use the air fryer. In the skillet, wait for it to be very hot and then place the wrap down. Use a pair of tongs to flip and brown both sides, about a minute. In the air fryer, I prefer brushing a little oil on both sides of the wrap, place into a preheated air fryer on high heat for 1 minute or until light golden brown.1/2 cup tahini
- Step 4: Prepare the Veggies Chop the bell pepper and thinly slice the spring onion fresh chillies. Rinse and either gently tear the fresh parsley and basil or give it a rough chop.3 spring onion, sliced, 2 mild fresh chilies, sliced, 1 red bell pepper, diced

Add the fresh veggies, freshly chopped herbs, a pinch of salt and pepper, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, a little extra tahini, and a dollop of sour cream (optional).1/4 cup toasted breadcrumbs, optional, salt and black pepper to taste, 1/2 teaspoon cumin spice, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/3 cup sour cream, caciotta cheese, feta cheese or any cheese that you can crumble on top.

Notes
Red Onion Tip: To reduce the sharpness of red onions, soak thinly sliced onions in a mixture of water and vinegar for a few minutes. For a milder taste, use ice water.
Balancing Heat: If you’re using spicy sriracha hot chili sauce, a squeeze of lemon and extra olive oil can help mellow the heat.
Toasted Breadcrumbs – For a crunchy texture (optional) and can be used in the layers with the chickpeas and tahini and then on top for that extra bit of crunch!
To substitute the breadcrumbs: Sprinkle nuts, seeds or Greek feta cheese.
Chickpeas: For the best texture, keep the chickpeas tender rather than over-crisping them. You can also use drained, smashed and well seasoned chickpeas instead of roasted chickpeas.
