Creamy Chickpea & Spinach Wraps | The HEALTHIEST Creamy Wraps
These Creamy Chickpea & Spinach Wraps are packed with flavors, made with heart-healthy ingredients and come together within minutes. But the best part? Absolutely no cooking involved and the kind of food that´s going to make you feel like a million bucks.
To make this recipe I used Spanish jarred chickpeas (10% OFF Your First Order with Code ¨ONAFORK¨). However, you can also use regular canned chickpeas or even use dried chickpeas. Just soak them in plenty of water overnight and then simmer the following day for 1 to 2 hours or until tender.
What gives these wraps that incredible creamy texture is the Greek yogurt. I used low-fat, but you can use full fat if you like. You can even veganize this recipe by using your favorite plant-based yogurt.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: I served these wraps at room temperature. But you can also add the chickpea mixture into the fridge and serve these wraps chilled. They will hold for up to 5 to 7 days in the fridge.
Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
LARGE GLASS BOWL
SPANISH JARRED CHICKPEAS
SPANISH SEA SALT

Simple ingredients; easy to prep the night before. A tasty lunch that impressed my lunch guest. Will be happy to make this one again.
So happy to hear that! Thanks for the comment 🙂 Much love
I made this today, but used one standard US sized can of chickpeas, which are 15.5 ounces, and probably have 10 ounces of chickpeas after pouring off the chickpea liquid (aquafaba). I realize now that my adjustments for the other ingredients were a little low, but it still came out tasting fine. Next time I will get the adjustment correct, and maybe it will taste even better.
I substituted vegan mayonnaise for the yogurt, which I did not have. I like this recipe because in contrast to some other chickpea salad recipes, this did not require smashing the chickpeas, so there is one less step. Thanks again for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment 🙂 Much love
Just made this for my lunch and it was sooooo good!! I added some avocado chunks and used kalamata olives. Will definitely be making this again and again
Happy to hear that! Thanks for the comment 🙂 Much love
I was make this recipe as my dinner today because it was so warm and don’t wanna cook in a hot kitchen. I was easy but really delicious. I was put in some extra tomatoes and use butter beans instead of chickpeas but it still was delicious as always. Thanks again for the inspiration
Sounds great Marco! Much love 🙂
This recipe is beautiful, delicious and SO sloppy to eat 🙂 — don’t forget plenty of napkins! It looks like you’re using canned pitted black olives. What kind are they, are they a Spanish variety? I have some lovely Greek Kalamata olives and I’m thinking of trying them, but I’d love to know what olives you prefer. Thanks!
I used typical pitted black olives from Spain, nothing fancy, you can use any olives you like 🙂 Much love!
Thank you for this recipe it’s so good, healthy and full of delicious flavours, love it.
Glad you enjoyed it!!! Much love 🙂
I’m out of wraps so I’m just eating this as a salad with a bit of olive oil drizzled on top. Excellent!
Sounds great!! Much love 🙂
