Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chickpeas — If using canned chickpeas, make sure to rinse them thoroughly before using to remove any excess sodium. If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight and cook until tender before using in the recipe.
- Greek yogurt — Choose a thick and creamy Greek yogurt for the best texture and flavor in the yogurt sauce.
- Flatbreads — You can use store-bought flatbreads or tortillas, or make your own using a simple flour-based dough.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of sumac to the chickpeas before sautéing them.
- If you prefer a spicier wrap, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the chickpeas.
- Customize the vegetable fillings according to your preference. You can add sliced bell peppers, shredded lettuce, or pickled vegetables for additional flavors and textures.
- To make the wrap more filling, you can add a handful of cooked rice or quinoa to the filling.
- If you're short on time, you can use store-bought hummus instead of the yogurt sauce.
Serving advice
Serve the Turkish Chickpea Wraps as a main dish for a satisfying lunch or dinner. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, you can wrap the Turkish Chickpea Wraps in parchment paper or aluminum foil, securing them with a string or ribbon. This will give them a more authentic street food feel.
