Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas or flatbreads
- For the sauce: 1/2 cup plain vegan yogurt, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- Toppings: Shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced red onion
Instructions
- Combine the rinsed chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well to coat.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chickpeas and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly crispy and warmed through. Set aside.
- Prepare the sauce by whisking together the vegan yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped parsley in a small bowl. Season with a small pinch of salt.
- Warm your tortillas according to package directions (a dry skillet works well).
- To assemble, lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread a generous spoonful of the vegan yogurt sauce down the center.
- Layer with the cooked chickpea mixture, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion slices.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to create your wrap.
- Slice in half if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade shawarma!
Notes
- You can roast the chickpeas instead of pan-frying for a different texture.
- Feel free to add other vegetables you enjoy, like cucumber or pickled turnips.
- If you don’t have vegan yogurt, a tahini-based sauce works wonderfully too.
