- 07 0.25 cup tahini (sesame paste)
- 08 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps
Step 01
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss beet wedges with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 02
While the beets are roasting, warm the chickpeas in a skillet over medium heat with a pinch of salt, pepper, and optional cumin for flavor. Heat for 5–7 minutes until warmed through and lightly crisped on the edges.
Step 03
In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, and salt. Gradually add water until it reaches a creamy but pourable consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 04
Gently heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable to prevent tearing during wrapping.
Step 05
Lay each tortilla flat. Add a handful of chopped greens, followed by a scoop of chickpeas, several roasted beet slices, and a generous drizzle of tahini-lemon sauce. Add optional toppings if desired.
Step 06
Fold in the sides, roll tightly from the bottom, and slice diagonally for presentation. Serve warm or chilled.
