How to Make Peanut Butter Chickpea Curry Wraps
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Curry Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the peanut butter, soy sauce, curry powder, ground ginger, garlic powder, and lime juice. Add water gradually until you reach a smooth, spreadable consistency. If you enjoy a bit of spice, add sriracha or red pepper flakes to taste. - Create the Chickpea Filling
In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, cucumber, carrots, and red bell pepper. Pour half of the peanut butter curry sauce over the chickpea mixture and toss until the chickpeas and veggies are well-coated. - Assemble the Wraps
Lay out your tortillas or wraps on a flat surface. Spread a spoonful of the peanut butter curry sauce onto each wrap, then add a handful of spinach or greens. Place a generous scoop of the chickpea mixture on top of the greens. - Wrap It Up
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Slice each wrap in half for easy eating and enjoy! - Serve and Enjoy
These wraps are perfect on their own or with a side of extra sauce for dipping. They’re best enjoyed fresh, but you can also wrap them in foil and save them in the fridge for a quick, grab-and-go meal later.
