03 - Fold in the celery, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.

07 - Fold in the sides and roll up tightly into a wrap.
08 - Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • The chickpea salad gets better as it sits, so you can actually make these ahead and your lunch improves over time.
  • It's the kind of meal that feels fancy enough to serve guests but casual enough to eat standing up at your kitchen counter.
  • Those spices do something magical to plain chickpeas, making them taste like they've been simmering for hours when really you've just mixed everything together.
02 -
  • If you make these the night before, the chickpea salad will actually absorb all those flavors and taste even better the next day, so don't worry about making them ahead.
  • The texture of your tortilla matters more than you'd think because a tortilla that's too thin will tear when you roll it, but one that's slightly stale from sitting out rolls like a dream.
03 -
  • Warm your tortillas for just a few seconds in a dry skillet before assembling because a warm tortilla is more pliable and less likely to crack when you roll it.
  • If you can't find coconut yogurt, regular unsweetened vegan yogurt works perfectly and sometimes tastes even cleaner.
