This avocado wrap with chickpeas is ready in just 10 minutes and is perfect for a healthy meal prep lunch! The quick maple chickpeas work perfectly with a mild avocado sauce, both requiring just a handful of ingredients. Gluten-free and oil-free.
As a university student, quick and easy meals are super important to me. However, quick and simple definitely doesn’t mean boring and flavourless, and what I love about plantbased cooking is just how easy it is to create a huge variety of flavours using basic ingredients.
When I first went vegan, I had no idea what I was doing and cooked the most boring meals. I mean, avocado on toast is great, but you’ve got to not make the mistake of eating it plain like I did and at least add a pinch of salt and pepper, lol. Thankfully, I’ve learned a few cooking tips since then and know how to ensure quick meals still taste good. So, today I’m sharing an easy chickpea wrap with an avocado sauce that definitely follows that principle.
About this vegan avocado wrap with chickpeas
My favourite thing about this wrap are the maple chickpeas. They’re super flavourful and go perfectly with the avocado sauce.
As for the avocado sauce, well, it just shows how incredible avocado is. This sauce requires just 5 ingredients and nicely balances out the sweetness of the chickpeas. Because it’s so yummy, it’s a great idea to make a little bit more than you intend to use for the wrap and use it for meals such as salads and sandwiches.
I served the chickpeas and avocado sauce in a gluten-free wrap by themselves, but you can add other ingredients and add-ins – the great thing about wraps is how versatile they are! The result is a delicious lunch or even a savoury breakfast/brunch.
