Ingredients
For the Wrap Assembly
For the Chili Lime Dressing (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
Prepare and Season the Cauliflower and Chickpeas
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, add the cauliflower florets and chickpeas. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle in smoked paprika, chilli powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Add the lime zest and juice. Toss everything well to coat the cauliflower and chickpeas evenly with spices and lime.
Roast the Cauliflower and Chickpeas
Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets and chickpeas evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden and tender and the chickpeas are slightly crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the Fresh Veggies and Wraps
While the cauliflower and chickpeas are roasting, prepare the wrap fillings. Wash and shred the lettuce or baby spinach. Julienne or shred the carrot, then thinly slice the red onion and cucumber. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Warm the tortillas or wraps in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Lay them on a clean surface or plate, ready for assembly.
Make the Chilli Lime Dressing (Optional)
In a small bowl, combine the vegan mayo or Greek yoghurt, lime juice, hot sauce or sriracha, chilli powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside for drizzling over the wraps.
Assemble the Wraps
Lay a warmed tortilla on a clean surface. Arrange a handful of shredded lettuce or spinach down the centre of the plate. Top with a portion of roasted cauliflower and chickpeas. Add the prepped carrot, red onion, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle generously with chilli lime dressing. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired. Carefully fold the sides of the wrap over the filling, then roll up tightly from the bottom to create a secure wrap.
Serve and Enjoy
Slice each wrap in half if desired and arrange on a serving platter. Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh herbs and a wedge of lime on the side for squeezing. Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful Chili Lime Chickpea Cauliflower Wraps while they’re fresh!
