This easy Chickpea Wrap is a vegetarian spin to a classic chicken caesar wrap.
This easy Chickpea Wrap is so dang good. It’s the perfect lunch and a great spin to a traditional chicken caesar salad wrap. Also can be an awesome meal to take with you for a park picnic this summer. I like to bring a wrap + my go-to snack for when I’m on the go, Herbaland’s new nutrient-infused gummies. They are perfect for a healthy snack and are packed with the healthy benefits of things like vitamin C or apple cider vinegar. I’m seriously obsessed with them as a quick and easy snack.
Anyway, with this wrap recipe, you get the healthy benefits of chickpeas, combined with the veggies of course. You can also make it your own by add buffalo sauce to make this a buffalo caesar wrap. I promise you’re going to really like this one. If you do, please leave a review in the comment section at the bottom of this post!

🍲 Ingredients
Chickpeas: Rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, chickpeas can offer a variety of health benefits such as improving your digestion, and decreasing your chance of several diseases. Chickpeas are also a great protein source and that’s why I love them in my diet.
Garlic Confit: OMG I love this stuff so much. I make it ahead and always have some on hand because it stores so well. Find the recipe here. Use this confit to spread on sandwiches, throw in recipes, or anything in between. If you love garlic you’re going to LOVE this.
Tortillas: You can use any type of tortilla you like, you can also grill this wrap up to make it warm. Alternatively, say bye to the tortilla completely and eat this as a salad instead.
👩🍳 How to Make Chickpea Wraps
1. Preheat the oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. To a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients for the crispy chickpeas and mix till well combined. Add the chickpeas to the parchment-lined baking sheet and spread them all evenly, leaving each chickpea room to breathe/crisp up. Cook for 25 minutes, flipping/tossing halfway through. TIP: keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.
3. While the chickpeas cook, prepare the salad ingredients and set them aside.
4. Once the chickpeas have cooked, let them cool.
5. Toss your salad by adding the lettuce, cheese, lemon, dressing, and garlic into a bowl.
6. Place around 1/3 of the salad in the center of the wrap with your desired amount of chickpeas. Fold in both sides of the wrap and pinch the bottom side of the wrap up to fold and form a wrap. You can wrap the wrap with parchment then cut it.

🗒 Substitutions
- Chickpeas: I love making this wrap with chickpeas but if you’re feeling like switching it up, you can use lentils, black beans, and white beans.
- Spices: The spices for the chickpeas are entirely optional and really quite versatile/interchangeable so have fun with them! I would suggest using the flavors you love most and thinking about the classic taste of a caesar salad while developing that flavor profile.
- Protein: Add chicken to this recipe or swap the chickpeas for chicken to up the protein value
🗒 Other Wrap Recipes to Try
👝 How to Store Leftovers
The salad is best enjoyed fresh. So I suggest only topping the lettuce with the dressing once you’re ready to make the wrap. The crispy chickpeas can be tightly sealed, once cooled, and will last up to 5-7 days in a room temperature spot.
🤔 Common Questions
Caesar dressing is made with garlic, mayo, parmesan cheese, anchovies, lemon juice, and a few other ingredients. Recipes vary but generally they contain the above ingredients.
Technically it is not because of the anchovies but it is possible to make vegetarian caesar dressing or find an alternative.
