These chickpea wraps are delicious and incredibly simple to make. Whether you prefer a mild or spicy flavor, you have the freedom to adjust the level of spiciness according to your taste.
Furthermore, it is crucial to roll the wraps correctly to prevent them from falling apart while eating. When spreading the avocado mix and soy yogurt, always leave a thumb’s width of space at the sides of the wraps. Next, layer the remaining ingredients in a straight line down the center of the wrap, ensuring to leave a small gap at both the top and bottom. When you are ready to roll the wrap, begin by folding the bottom up about a quarter of the way. Then, fold in the sides and continue rolling until the wrap is fully sealed. This technique will prevent any of the chickpea filling from escaping.
This wrap contains many flavorful ingredients. One ingredient to point out is nutritional yeast, which is a type of yeast that is commonly used in baking bread. However, nutritional yeast is an inactive form that cannot be used for these purposes and would taste too bitter if tried. Instead, it can be added to various foods to provide a nutty, cheesy, or savory flavor, as well as a boost of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The name “nutritional yeast” comes from the fact that it contains a variety of nutrients, such as protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Research has shown that consuming nutritional yeast may offer several health benefits, including reducing cholesterol levels and protecting against cellular damage that can lead to disease.
