Sandwiches have always been such an easy go to for a quick and easy meal. And wraps are almost better - what doesn't taste better turned into a burrito? Throw anything in a tortilla and you've got a meal. Breakfast burritos, falafel wraps - throw some veggies, a protein, and a yummy sauce or flavoring and it's guaranteed deliciousness in a perfect handheld container.
I've been experimenting with chickpea flour recently in a variety of recipes. I tried it in a vegan quiche (not very tasty - this one still needs work), in chocolate chip cookies (also kinda meh), and now finally, in the beloved tortilla. And guess whatn- it works!
A simple blend of chickpea flour, water and some spices makes a thin batter that transforms into a delicate crepe or tortilla that can hold up to the heartiest of fillings. I give you, the chickpea crepe, courtesy of Sweetashoney (recipe here). These puppies are super tasty with a variety of savory fillings (really whatever you can dream up) and packed with protein! Make a batch, stick em in the fridge and eat them for days!
Step 1. Mix your batter in a blender (see recipe)
Step 2. Let it sit 30 minutes
Step 3. Lightly oil your pan with coconut oil
Step 4. Pour in about 1/3 cup, let cook ~2 minutes per side

| This one is filled with hummus, leftover falafel, a quick salad I made with sliced onion, radish, cucumber, tomato and unsweetened almond milk yogurt with some spices, lettuce and some leftover quinoa salad. Chickpeas three ways in one wrap! |
Step 6. Store leftovers covered in the fridge.
Step 7. Fill with more yummy goodies and repeat!

So not to fear my gluten free friends! The chickpea tortilla is here to save the day!
