Ingredients

For the Vegan Caesar Dressing:

• ½ cup vegan mayo
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 garlic clove, peeled
• 1 teaspoon capers
• 2 teaspoons caper brine
• 1–2 teaspoons spicy mustard
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• Salt, to taste

For the Chickpeas:

• 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• ½ teaspoon garlic salt
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon oil

For the Wraps:

• 4 large wraps or tortillas

Instructions

1. Make the Caesar Dressing:
   Add all dressing ingredients to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Chill in the fridge until ready to use.
2. Prepare the Chickpeas:
   In a bowl, toss chickpeas with garlic salt, onion powder, paprika, pepper, and parsley. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chickpeas and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until they’re lightly crispy. Remove from heat.
3. Assemble the Wraps:
   In a large bowl, toss the chopped romaine with the Caesar dressing (if serving immediately). Divide the dressed romaine evenly between the wraps. Top with chickpeas, sliced avocado, and tomato.
4. Wrap It Up:
   Roll each wrap tightly, cut in half if desired, and serve.

 

Make-Ahead Tip:

• If you're prepping these wraps for lunch ahead of time, keep the dressing separate and add just before eating to avoid soggy lettuce.

Save

1. Can I make these wraps ahead of time for meal prep?

Yes, you can prepare the components in advance. Store the cooked chickpeas, chopped romaine, and dressing separately in the refrigerator. Assemble the wraps just before eating to prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy. 

2. How can I make the chickpeas extra crispy?

To achieve crispier chickpeas, ensure they are thoroughly dried after rinsing. You can roast them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-30 minutes until golden and crispy. Alternatively, pan-fry them over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently. 

3. Is there a gluten-free option for this recipe?

Absolutely! Use gluten-free tortillas or wraps, and ensure that all other ingredients, including seasonings and condiments, are certified gluten-free. 

4. Can I use store-bought Caesar dressing instead of making my own?

Yes, you can use store-bought Caesar dressing to save time. Opt for a vegan version if you want to keep the wraps plant-based. However, making your own allows you to adjust the flavors to your preference. 

5. What are some additional fillings I can add to these wraps?

To enhance the wraps, consider adding sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, or shredded carrots for extra flavor and texture. For added protein, you can include grilled tofu or tempeh.
