Caesar wraps are a love language all on their own. Crispy, salty, creamy, and portable – what’s not to love? While I love making this tahini tofu Caesar wrap, I wanted to develop a recipe that was a little bit faster, a little less fussy, and that used our community’s beloved chickpeas! To achieve the crispy notes that usually come from croutons in a Caesar salad, we’re going to mash chickpeas. Then, we’ll spread them inside the tortilla and pan-fry them to perfection.
You’ll want to take this wrap and run
Ready in 30 minutes, this wrap is easy to make and fuss-free. Spread, fry, wrap – easy peasy! Crispy all around. Since the chickpeas are spread across the entire tortilla and fried, you will get crispy smashed chickpeas in every bite. Take it on the go to the lake, on a hike, or on the road. The chickpeas act as a barrier to keep the dressing from making the tortilla soggy while you travel with it.
You don’t need much
The ingredients for this Caesar wrap are all pretty standard to a traditional Caesar salad.
Chickpeas: Chickpeas are the star of our show! You can use canned chickpeas or cook them yourself. White Onion: Brings flavor. You could also use red onion here. Flour: Flour is especially important if you’re using canned chickpeas, which tend to be softer. This will bind the mixture so it doesn’t crumble once rolled. Seasonings: Garlic powder, salt, and smoked paprika. Wrap Basics: Tortillas, romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and parmesan cheese make up the Caesar filling and wrap. You can use a store-bought dressing or this vegan tahini Caesar dressing.
The process looks like this
Step 1: Blend the chickpea filling until a thick dough forms. Step 2: Spread the mixture onto the tortilla. Step 3: Pan-fry the chickpea side in oil until golden brown. Step 4: Assemble the wraps with the lettuce, cheese, and dressing. Customize these protein-packed wraps with a schmear of avocado, mix in red onion for a bite, add some extra black pepper, swap the lettuce for kale, and more! Caesar wraps make a great lunch or a quick dinner. For a full meal, I like to pair mine with:
Crispy Truffle Fries: These are easy to pop in the air fryer while the wrap is pan frying. Homemade Hummus: And if you have chips, you need some dip. Hummus is the perfect option because you can also have it with fresh veggies.
