1 tsp chili powder
-
1/2 tsp cumin
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
1/4 tsp black pepper
Chili Lime Chickpeas
-
2 (15-oz) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
-
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
-
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
-
Juice of 2 limes
-
1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp chili sauce (like Sriracha or gochujang)
-
1 tsp chili powder
-
1/2 tsp cumin
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder
-
1/4 tsp salt
Avocado Crema (Optional)
-
1 ripe avocado
-
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or vegan alternative)
-
Juice of 1/2 lime
-
2 tbsp water (more as needed)
-
1/4 tsp salt
For Assembly
-
4 large tortillas or wraps
-
Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, pickled onions
Instructions
-
Roast the cauliflower: Heat oven to 400°F. Toss cauliflower with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast 20–25 minutes until tender and browned.
-
Mix the chickpeas: In a bowl, combine chickpeas, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, chili sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Mash about half the chickpeas with a fork (optional), then stir well.
-
Make the avocado crema (optional): Mash or blend avocado, yogurt, lime juice, water, and salt until creamy. Add more water if you want it thinner.
-
Assemble: Warm tortillas if you like. Spread avocado crema down the center, add chickpea mixture, then top with roasted cauliflower. Add any toppings, roll up, and serve.
Notes
Make it milder: Use less chili sauce (or choose a mild one).
Make it vegan: Use vegan yogurt (or skip yogurt and thin avocado with lime + water).
Meal prep tip: Store cauliflower, chickpeas, and crema separately, then build fresh wraps so they don’t get soggy.
Extra crunch ideas: lettuce, cucumber, bell pepper, or pickled onions.
