Quick & easy spicy chickpea mango lettuce wraps, a vibrant dinner packed with flavor & nutrition. Perfect for busy nights. Try this healthy delight!
Ingredients
- • chickpeas (canned, drained, and rinsed): 1 can (15 oz)
- • mango (peeled and diced): 1 large
- • romaine lettuce leaves: 8 large leaves
- • red onion (finely chopped): 1/2 cup
- • cilantro (chopped): 1/4 cup
- • lime (juiced): 1
- • tahini: 2 tablespoons
- • garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- • cayenne pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- • cumin: 1/2 teaspoon
- • avocado oil: 1 tablespoon
- • salt: to taste
- • black pepper: to taste
Instructions
- 1 In a medium skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the drained chickpeas, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the chickpeas evenly with the spices.
- 2 Sauté the chickpeas for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown slightly and develop a crispy exterior. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- 3 Meanwhile, prepare the tahini-lime drizzle by whisking together the tahini and lime juice in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Adjust the thickness with a little water if necessary, and season with salt to taste.
- 4 To assemble the wraps, lay out the lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Fill each leaf with a spoonful of sautéed chickpeas, followed by a generous portion of diced mango and a sprinkle of red onion and cilantro.
- 5 Drizzle the tahini-lime sauce over each wrap just before serving. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Spicy Chickpea and Mango Lettuce Wraps pair beautifully with a refreshing cucumber and mint salad on the side. To complete your meal, consider serving with a chilled herbal iced tea or a sparkling water infused with lime and fresh mint. For a bit of crunch, a handful of lightly toasted sunflower seeds can be sprinkled over the wraps just before serving. This adds a satisfying texture and a boost of healthy fats to your meal.
Storage Tips
Any leftover chickpeas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The tahini-lime drizzle can also be stored separately in the fridge for up to a week. It's best to keep the lettuce and mango separate from the chickpeas and drizzle until you're ready to eat to maintain their freshness and texture.
