A quick and healthy wrap featuring roasted cauliflower and chickpeas tossed in a smoky chili-lime dressing, perfect for a satisfying lunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups cauliflower florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 large lime
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 4 large whole wheat or gluten-free wraps
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
  • Optional add-ins: sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, thinly sliced red onion
  • Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or drizzle of hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cauliflower florets and rinsed chickpeas. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Add chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss again until well-seasoned.
  4. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
  5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through at about 15 minutes to ensure even crisping.
  6. While roasting, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl to make the lime yogurt drizzle.
  7. Warm the wraps in the oven for 1-2 minutes or on a skillet over medium heat just before the cauliflower and chickpeas finish roasting.
  8. Assemble the wraps by spreading a spoonful of lime yogurt drizzle on each wrap, then piling on the roasted cauliflower and chickpeas. Add fresh cilantro and any optional toppings like avocado or red onion.
  9. Fold the sides in and roll tightly. Serve immediately while warm and fresh.

Notes

Pat chickpeas dry after rinsing to help them crisp better. Toss halfway through roasting for even browning. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Warm wraps before assembling to prevent cracking and improve texture. Store filling and wraps separately if making ahead to avoid sogginess.
