Today’s Unique Healthy Snack Recipe: Spicy Chickpea Lettuce Wraps

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a new and exciting recipe for Spicy Chickpea Lettuce Wraps. I created this dish during a hot summer afternoon, craving something light, flavorful, and healthy. These lettuce wraps are packed with protein, fiber, and a kick of heat that will leave your taste buds dancing. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 240g chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
• 1 ripe avocado, diced
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste
• Butter lettuce leaves, for wrapping

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• fork
• knife
• cutting board
• citrus juicer

I start by mashing the chickpeas in a mixing bowl with a fork until they are slightly chunky. Then, I add in the diced red bell pepper, jalapeno, and avocado. Next, I squeeze in the lime juice for a burst of freshness and add the ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for seasoning. I mix everything together until well combined.

I spoon the spicy chickpea mixture onto individual butter lettuce leaves, creating little wraps. The cool, crisp lettuce combines perfectly with the spicy and tangy chickpea filling, creating a delicious contrast of flavors and textures in each bite.

Clever Tip:

For an extra burst of freshness, top each lettuce wrap with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a drizzle of hot sauce before serving. The cilantro adds a vibrant herbal note, while the hot sauce enhances the spiciness of the dish.
