For the Wraps

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chickpeas

Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Toss with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2: Cook the Chickpeas

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chickpeas and cook for 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden, slightly crispy, and fragrant.

Step 3: Cook the Zucchini

In the same skillet, add the sliced zucchini. Cook for 3–5 minutes until tender with lightly golden edges. Season with a little salt and pepper.

Step 4: Make the Tzatziki Sauce

In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 5: Warm the Flatbreads

Warm the pita breads or flatbreads in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and flexible.

Step 6: Assemble the Wraps

Spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce over each flatbread. Add the seasoned chickpeas, cooked zucchini, crumbled feta, and fresh parsley.

Step 7: Fold and Serve

Fold the sides inward and roll tightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately with extra tzatziki sauce and fresh lemon wedges.
