Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (ensure it's vegan if preferred)

1/4 cup nutritional yeast

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup grated vegan parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh black pepper and croutons for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpea Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the chickpeas until they are mostly smooth, but still retain some chunks for added texture. This will create a hearty base for your wraps.

    Make the Creamy Dressing: In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, nutritional yeast, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Continue whisking until the dressing is fully blended and creamy.

      Combine Ingredients: Pour the prepared dressing over the mashed chickpeas. Gently mix together with a spatula or wooden spoon until the chickpeas are thoroughly coated and the mixture achieves a creamy consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper as desired.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Evenly distribute the chickpea mixture across the center of each tortilla, leaving about an inch of space along the edges to facilitate wrapping.

          Add Fresh Ingredients: Top each chickpea mixture with a generous handful of chopped romaine lettuce, a scattering of halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of vegan parmesan cheese, if using.

            Wrap It Up: To wrap, first fold in the two sides of the tortilla, then start rolling from the bottom up tightly, ensuring the filling is secured inside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

              Serve: With a sharp knife, cut each wrap in half for easier eating. Optionally, serve with an extra sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper and a handful of croutons on the side for added crunch.

                Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes | Servings: 4 wraps

                  - Presentation Tips: For a vibrant display, serve the wraps on a wooden board or a colorful platter. Add a small bowl of extra dressing on the side for dipping, and arrange croutons around the wraps for an attractive touch.
