Ingredients

For the Wrap Filling

2 medium beets, peeled and diced
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Creamy Tahini-Lemon Sauce

¼ cup tahini
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
2–4 tablespoons warm water (to thin)
Salt, to taste

For Assembling

4 large wraps or flatbreads
1 cup shredded lettuce or mixed greens
½ cup thinly sliced cucumber
Optional: sliced red onion, fresh parsley, or feta cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add diced beets and chickpeas to the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
Roast for 30–35 minutes, stirring halfway, until beets are tender and chickpeas are slightly crispy.
While roasting, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and warm water until smooth and creamy.
Warm wraps slightly, then fill with greens, roasted beet-chickpea mixture, and drizzle generously with tahini-lemon sauce.
Roll, slice in half, and serve warm or at room temperature.
