How to Make Vegetarian “Chicken” Salad Pinwheels
Gather: To start, gather your ingredients. You will need one apple, one stalk of celery, one can of chickpeas, mayo, four tortillas, and lettuce.
Dice: Wash and chop the apple into small pieces, keeping the skin on for added texture and flavor.
Cut: Then, cut the celery lengthwise and chop it into similar small pieces. Set both the apple and celery aside in a bowl for later.
Drain: Next, drain and rinse a can of chickpeas and place them in a separate bowl.
Mash: Use a fork or a potato masher to slightly mash the chickpeas, creating a mixture with some larger chunks for added texture.
Combine: Then, add the diced apple and celery to the chickpea mixture, mixing well to combine.
Add: Spoon in some mayo to your desired taste preference, and mix all ingredients together until fully combined. This will create a delicious and flavorful mixture that will be the main star of your wrap.
Assembly Process
Assemble: To assemble the wrap, divide the chickpea mixture evenly between four tortillas, spreading it evenly in the center while leaving some space around the edges.
Roll: Add some lettuce to give the wrap an added crunch, and then roll everything up into a flavorful pinwheel shape, tucking the edges in as you roll.
Cut: Finally, use a serrated knife to slice the wrap into smaller sections for easy eating.
Enjoy: The mixture of tangy apples and savory chickpeas will create the perfect balance of flavors for a healthy and satisfying lunchtime meal.
