Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 large avocado or 2 small avocados
- 1 jalapeño, chopped
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup mustard
- 1/4 cup vegan mayo
- Pepper to taste
- Garlic salt to taste
- Hot sauce to taste
Assembly
- 2 large tortillas or wraps
- 2 handfuls baby spinach
Instructions
- Mash Chickpeas and Avocado: Add the drained chickpeas to a bowl and mash them with a fork until mostly smooth. Add the avocado and continue mashing until well combined into a creamy filling.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in chopped jalapeño, red onion, mustard, vegan mayo, pepper, garlic salt, and hot sauce to the mashed mixture. Mix thoroughly to blend flavors. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
- Spread Filling on Tortillas: Lay out the tortillas flat and spread an even layer of the chickpea salad filling to the outer edges of each.
- Add Spinach: Arrange a layer of baby spinach on only half of the filling on each tortilla. Avoid covering the entire surface with spinach so the tortilla will stick when rolled.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from the side with spinach, roll the tortillas up tightly until fully rolled. Using a sharp knife, slice each wrap into 8 pinwheel pieces.
- Serve or Store: Serve pinwheels immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 12 hours to prevent sogginess.
Notes
- If chickpea skins bother you, peel them by hand, but it’s optional as texture is fine without peeling.
- The filling can be prepared up to 6 hours in advance; to prevent avocado browning, add avocado just before assembly if desired.
- Do not add spinach to both sides of the tortilla to ensure the roll sticks and holds together properly.
