Warm chickpea and pepper wraps

Warm spiced chickpeas make a useful wrap filling without a long cooking session. Cutting the pepper into thin strips helps it soften quickly. Assemble just before eating so the tortilla stays flexible rather than absorbing moisture from the filling.

How to make it

  1. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add pepper and cook for 5 minutes, stirring.
  2. Add chickpeas, paprika, cumin and 2 tbsp water. Cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the pepper is tender and the chickpeas are hot.
  3. Mix yogurt with lemon juice. Warm tortillas according to the packet.
  4. Spread yogurt over each tortilla, add lettuce and the warm filling, fold the sides in and roll tightly. Serve at once.

Make it work in your kitchen

Crush a few chickpeas in the pan to stop every piece rolling out of the wrap. For a packed lunch, cool and refrigerate the filling safely, then pack it with an ice pack and assemble near mealtime. Use an appropriate dairy-free sauce if needed.
