Ingredients:

  • canned chickpeas (drained) – 200g
  • avocado (ripe) – 1
  • red chili pepper (deseeded and diced) – 1
  • lemon (juiced) – 1
  • garlic clove (minced) – 1
  • lettuce leaves (washed and dried) – 8
  • salt – 1/2 tsp
  • black pepper – 1/4 tsp

Kitchen Tools:

  • mixing bowl
  • fork
  • knife
  • cutting board

To start, mash the drained chickpeas in a mixing bowl using a fork until they are slightly chunky. Add in the diced avocado, minced garlic, deseeded and diced red chili pepper, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined evenly.

Spoon the spicy chickpea and avocado mixture onto each lettuce leaf, distributing it evenly among the eight leaves. Roll up the lettuce leaves to create wraps, securing them with toothpicks if necessary.
