Enticing Roasted Chickpea and Broccoli Burrito

Ingredients

1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 cups broccoli florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
4 large whole wheat tortillas
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 avocado, sliced
¼ cup Greek yogurt
1 lime, juiced
Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Prep and Roast

Begin by warming your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the chickpeas and broccoli florets in a mix of olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spread them out on a baking sheet and let them roast for 20−25 minutes until they’re crispy and golden—your kitchen will smell heavenly!

Assemble the Burrito

Gently warm the whole wheat tortillas in the microwave for about 10−15 seconds so they’re easy to fold. Evenly spread the delightful roasted chickpea and broccoli mixture onto each tortilla. Add a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, ripe avocado slices, and a creamy dollop of Greek yogurt.

Final Touches

Add some zest with a squeeze of lime juice over the filling before wrapping each tortilla into a cozy burrito. If needed, secure them with a toothpick. Bring the flavors to life with fresh cilantro as a garnish and, if you’re feeling adventurous, pair the burritos with your favorite hot sauce or salsa to give them a little something extra.
