4. Warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until pliable. Tip: Cover tortillas with a towel to keep them soft while assembling.
5. Spread 2 tbsp Greek yogurt evenly over each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
6. Divide the chickpea mixture between the tortillas, placing it in the center.
7. Top each with shredded red cabbage and chopped cilantro. Tip: For added crunch, include thinly sliced radishes or bell peppers.
8. Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
9. Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for on-the-go meals. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Resulting in a satisfying crunch from the chickpeas and cabbage, balanced by the creamy yogurt and zesty lime. Roll it up tightly to prevent spills, or slice it in half for a neat presentation. The smoky chipotle adds a warm depth that pairs well with a side of fresh salsa or avocado slices.
Teriyaki Chickpea and Pineapple Wrap
Bold flavors meet quick prep in this plant-based wrap. Teriyaki-glazed chickpeas and caramelized pineapple create a sweet-savory filling that’s ready in minutes. Perfect for a handheld lunch or light dinner.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 (15-oz) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed (or 3 cups cooked)
– 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks, about 1-inch pieces (canned works in a pinch)
– 4 large flour tortillas, 10-inch size (wheat or gluten-free as needed)
– 1 cup shredded red cabbage (pre-shredded saves time)
– ½ cup teriyaki sauce, store-bought or homemade (look for a thick, glossy variety)
– 2 tbsp neutral oil, such as avocado or vegetable oil
– 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, optional for garnish
Instructions
1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
2. Add chickpeas and pineapple to the skillet in a single layer—don’t overcrowd to ensure even browning.
3. Cook without stirring for 4–5 minutes until chickpeas are lightly golden and pineapple starts to caramelize at the edges.
4. Pour teriyaki sauce over the mixture, stirring to coat everything evenly. Tip: If sauce is too thin, let it simmer 1–2 minutes to thicken slightly.
5. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce clings to the chickpeas and pineapple.
6. Remove skillet from heat and let filling cool for 2–3 minutes—this prevents soggy tortillas.
7. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20–30 seconds per side, just until pliable.
8. Divide shredded cabbage evenly among tortillas, placing it in the center of each.
9. Spoon teriyaki chickpea and pineapple mixture over the cabbage, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
10. Fold bottom edge of each tortilla up over filling, then fold sides inward and roll tightly into a wrap. Tip: If wraps tear, double-wrap with a second tortilla.
11. Garnish with chopped cilantro if using. Serve immediately. Tip: For extra crunch, add a handful of crispy wonton strips or crushed peanuts before rolling.
Ready to eat right away, these wraps offer a satisfying contrast of tender chickpeas, juicy pineapple, and crisp cabbage. The teriyaki glaze caramelizes into a sticky-sweet coating that pairs beautifully with the fresh ingredients. Try serving them sliced in half with a side of spicy mayo or extra teriyaki sauce for dipping.
