Ingredients & Substitutions: What Is In A Vegan Chickpea Curry Wrap

Let’s dive into the scrumptious ingredients that make up this vegan chickpea curry wrap. The chickpea mixture is the star of the show, providing a deliciously savory and slightly spicy flavor that pairs perfectly with the freshness of the lettuce.

First, we start with two cans of chickpeas that have been rinsed and drained. Chickpeas are a fantastic source of plant-based protein and fiber, making them an excellent choice for vegans and non-vegans alike. Plus, they have a satisfying texture that gives this wrap a hearty feel.

Next up is tahini, which is a paste made from ground sesame seeds. It has a nutty, slightly bitter flavor that adds depth to the chickpea mixture. The tahini also adds a creamy texture that balances out the spiciness of the sriracha.

Speaking of sriracha, it adds a nice kick of heat to the chickpea mixture. If you’re not a fan of spicy foods, you can swap out the sriracha for vegan mayo instead. But if you’re like me and love a little bit of heat, this ingredient will give your taste buds a delicious jolt.

We can’t forget the curry powder, which gives the chickpea mixture its signature curry flavor. The sweet and earthy notes of the curry powder pair beautifully with the spicy sriracha and creamy tahini.

To balance out the sweetness of the maple syrup or agave, we add a touch of garlic powder. Garlic is a powerful ingredient that provides a punch of flavor without overwhelming the other ingredients.

Lastly, we add finely chopped red onion and fresh cilantro (or parsley if you’re not a fan of cilantro). These ingredients provide a burst of freshness and crunch that ties the whole wrap together.

Helpful Tools

Here are some helpful tools and equipment that will make preparing and assembling your Vegan Chickpea Curry Wraps even easier:

• Mixing Bowl: You’ll need a medium-sized mixing bowl to combine all the ingredients for the chickpea mixture. A bowl with a non-slip bottom is ideal to prevent it from moving around as you mix.
• Fork or Masher: A fork or masher is necessary to mash the chickpea mixture to your desired consistency. You can use a potato masher or a fork to mash the chickpeas, leaving some whole or halved for added texture.
• Cutting Board and Knife: You’ll need a cutting board and a sharp knife to dice the red onion and chop the cilantro or parsley.
• Measuring Cups and Spoons: The recipe calls for specific measurements of ingredients, so having a set of measuring cups and spoons on hand will ensure you get the perfect balance of flavors.
• Tortilla Warmer (optional): If you want to keep your tortilla wraps warm and soft, a tortilla warmer can be a great investment. Simply heat the tortillas in the microwave or oven and place them in the warmer to keep them soft and pliable.
