Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium beets, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 can (15 oz/425 g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 4 large whole-wheat or spinach tortillas (810 inch)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded carrots
  • ½ cup (120 g) crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
  • Plain Greek yogurt or tahini sauce, to serve

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Toss the beet cubes and chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
  • Roast until the beets are tender and lightly caramelized and the chickpeas are golden and slightly crispy, about 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or wrapped in foil in the oven for a few minutes until pliable.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice into the Greek yogurt or tahini sauce and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Lay each warmed tortilla flat. Spoon a line of roasted beets and chickpeas down the center, then top with shredded carrots, avocado slices, crumbled feta, and chopped parsley.
  • Drizzle the lemon-yogurt (or tahini) sauce over the filling. Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
  • Slice each wrap in half on the diagonal and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil or parchment for meal prep.

 

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: Roast beets and chickpeas in bulk; store components separately.

  • Sauce Variations: Try hummus, pesto, or spicy harissa for new flavor profiles.

  • Storage: Keep assembled wraps refrigerated in parchment for up to 3 days; freeze for longer storage.

  • Serving Suggestions: Pair with a crisp side salad or baked sweet potato fries for a complete meal.

  • Allergy Tips: Easily adapt to gluten-free or nut-free diets by swapping tortillas and sauces.
