CHICKPEA & AVOCADO WRAP

What made me invent this absolutely easy to make yet delicious and oh so nutritious wrap idea is that my hubby goes to office everyday and I can easily run out of ideas for packed healthy lunch.

I think all of us mom’s/wives suffer from this every single day whether it is to pack lunch for your spouse or your children for school. So this idea might scare some men, like it did for my hubby!! We women LOVE avocado on everything with everything. While men don’t really get it, but i think that we can work it out!

So here’s what i did

Drain a can of chickpeas

Mash it up with a fork or however you like

Shred some carrots (i used half a carrot but it depends on the quantity you’re making). You could use all kind of add-ons like corn, peppers, tomato etc. Just don’t make it too wet.

Add an avocado and mash it up as well.

I don’t throw away the avocado pit, I know that avocado plants can be grown from the pit using this method.
For this method, you very carefully peel the ‘skin’ off the pit, gently pierce 3-4 toothpicks and submerge it into water (half of the pit needs to be in contact with water) It does take time to root .. I will record the process on this website.

Back to our filling, after you mix all the ingredients thoroughly squeeze in a dash of fresh lemon juice. (This will prevent the avocado from browning)

Add in salt and some of your favorite spices (i added mint and paprika).

I made my wrap filling at night and kept it covered in the fridge. On the morning of making the wraps add a dash of yogurt and mix well.

On the next day, I assembled the wrap, placing lettuce, filling, some thinly sliced cucumbers. You could play with flavors here and add anything from sour cream to onions.

I made 5 wraps and my daughter shared it with me for breakfast. She’s 2 and she loved it!

I think making this is a win-win as it yields 5 big wraps, which will be enough for 1 adult + 1 child.

You could always add in your favorite ingredients, play around with flavors and sauces. You should give this recipe a chance in your kitchen and you won’t regret it!
