Smashed Chickpea and Avocado Wraps
Description
This recipe features a straightforward blend of mashed avocado and chickpeas enhanced by lime chutney and lemon juice for a light tang. The filling is creamy and slightly chunky, reflecting the smashed texture of chickpeas balanced with smooth avocado. The wraps, generally tortillas but adaptable to rotis, hold the filling neatly for an easy handheld meal. The flavor profile leans toward mild citrus acidity complemented by the chutney's subtle sweetness and spice.
The wraps make a practical choice for packed lunches or quick meals, offering a vegetarian option that's satisfying without heavy cooking or preparation complexity. The recipe suggests that the filling can be prepared in advance and that additional vegetables like spinach or bell peppers may be added to increase volume and nutrition.
The notes provide advice for alternative ingredient options, storage, and assembly timing to maintain wrap texture, emphasizing flexibility in preparation and enjoyment. The recipe balances ease with fresh, wholesome ingredients.

- 2 avocado mashed, large

- 6 tortillas or other wraps
Instructions
- Mix together the mashed avocados, mashed chickpea, chutney, and lemon juice. Taste and adjust the lemon to suit your taste.
