Step-by-Step Instructions
Roast the Beets:
Peel and chop beets into equal-sized wedges so they cook evenly Toss them in olive oil salt and pepper then spread across a parchment-lined baking sheet Roast in a preheated oven at four hundred degrees fahrenheit flipping halfway through This takes about twenty five to thirty minutes The beets should be caramelized around the edges and fork tender
Prepare the Chickpeas:
Warm chickpeas in a skillet over medium heat Add a pinch of salt pepper and cumin if you like them smoky Let them heat for five to seven minutes stirring every so often to develop some crispness on the edges This step gives extra texture to the wrap
Make the Tahini Lemon Sauce:
In a bowl whisk together tahini lemon juice minced garlic cumin and salt Start adding water a little at a time whisking well until the sauce is silky smooth and pourable Taste and adjust with more salt or lemon for your liking
Warm the Wraps:
Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for just a few seconds until they are soft and flexible This prevents them from cracking while wrapping
Assemble the Wraps:
Lay out tortillas flat Add a layer of greens down the center Spoon on warm chickpeas then roasted beets Drizzle generously with tahini lemon sauce Layer on any of the optional toppings you like
Wrap and Serve:
Fold both sides of the wrap inward then roll tightly from bottom up Slice diagonally for a nice presentation Serve right away or chill for a portable meal These are just as tasty cold
