Finish and fold
Drizzle a little olive oil and lemon on top. Fold the sides in and roll tightly. Slice in half if serving right away.

Tips

Warm the tortilla for a few seconds so it rolls without tearing.

Pat the cucumber and tomatoes dry to prevent sogginess.

Add a pinch of salt to the tomatoes to boost their flavor.

Mash some chickpeas to help the filling stick together.

Use Greek yogurt for a thicker sauce.

Slice the onion very thin so it doesn’t overpower the wrap.

Add olives sparingly since they’re already salty.

If the wrap still feels loose, tuck a little lettuce at the bottom to help hold everything.

Variations

Spicy Version: Add chili flakes or a spoon of harissa.

Creamier Version: Add a little hummus inside the wrap.

Protein Boost: Add grilled chicken or turkey strips.

Crunchy Version: Add thin slices of radish or shredded cabbage.

Lemon-Herb Version: Add fresh mint along with parsley.

Vegan Version: Swap the yogurt sauce for tahini and use vegan feta.

Roasted Veg Version: Add roasted peppers or zucchini.

Avocado Twist: Add sliced or mashed avocado for extra creaminess.

Q&A

Any wrap works here.

Can I store leftovers?
Store the chickpeas, veggies, and sauce separately. Mix and roll when ready.

Is the yogurt sauce optional?
You can skip it, but it adds a cooling balance to the salty feta.
