Quick & easy spiced chickpea wraps with tahini and a pomegranate drizzle. A healthy dinner bursting with flavor and ready in 20 minutes!
Ingredients
- • canned chickpeas: 2 cups, drained and rinsed
- • ground cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • ground coriander: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
- • garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- • olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- • salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- • collard green leaves: 8 large
- • tahini: 1/4 cup
- • lemon juice: 2 tablespoons
- • pomegranate molasses: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh parsley: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • pomegranate seeds: 1/4 cup
- • black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and chickpeas, then sprinkle with cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the chickpeas with the spices.
- 2 Sauté the chickpeas for about 5-7 minutes until they're golden and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 3 In a small bowl, whisk together tahini and lemon juice until smooth. Add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency, then set aside.
- 4 Lay out the collard green leaves on a flat surface. Divide the chickpea mixture evenly among the leaves, placing it in the center of each leaf.
- 5 Drizzle the tahini sauce over the chickpeas, then sprinkle with fresh parsley and pomegranate seeds for an added burst of flavor and texture.
- 6 Gently fold the sides of each collard leaf over the filling, then roll tightly into a wrap. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
- 7 Just before serving, drizzle the wraps with pomegranate molasses for a sweet and tangy finish.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Spiced Chickpea & Tahini Collard Wraps are delightful on their own but pair beautifully with a refreshing cucumber salad or a light tomato gazpacho. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside a chilled quinoa tabbouleh, which complements the wraps with refreshing herbs and a hint of lemon. Enhance your dining experience with a glass of chilled herbal iced tea or a crisp, citrus-infused sparkling water. The effervescence and subtle flavors will cleanse your palate, allowing you to fully enjoy the complexity of spices and textures within the wraps.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, store the wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To maintain freshness, keep the tahini sauce and pomegranate molasses separate and drizzle just before serving. For the best texture, reheat the chickpeas in a skillet for a few minutes before assembling the wraps.
