Ingredients
2 medium beets, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil (divided)
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 cups baby spinach or mixed greens
1/2 cup shredded carrots
4 large tortillas or wraps
For the Garlic Yogurt Sauce:
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the cubed beets with half the olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, until tender.
- While the beets roast, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chickpeas for 5–7 minutes with a pinch of salt and a little extra paprika, if desired.
- In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the garlic yogurt sauce.
- Warm the tortillas slightly to make them easier to roll.
- To assemble the wraps, layer baby spinach, shredded carrots, roasted beets, and sautéed chickpeas onto each tortilla.
- Drizzle generously with the garlic yogurt sauce.
- Roll the wraps tightly, slice in half, and serve immediately or wrap in foil for a portable meal.
Notes
Let roasted beets cool before assembling to avoid sogginess.
Store sauce separately if prepping ahead for best texture.
Wraps taste great cold—no need to reheat.
Roasted beets can be made up to 3 days in advance.
Substitute Greek yogurt with dairy-free yogurt or tahini to make it vegan.
