Chickpea Curry Wraps

In 2015, I'm looking to eat healthier and exercise so that we all can be more fit (and I can lose some weight)!  So, I have been looking for quick and easy healthy recipes that taste good, and I found one that both Vivek and I enjoyed!  It is a wrap that is high in protein because of the chickpeas, and the tortilla I used was a sprouted grain tortilla (you can find it in the freezer section at the grocery store), which also increases the protein content of the dish.  It has a little bit of spice, citrus and sweet, which makes it a delicious and healthy lunch!



Recipe for Chickpea Curry Wraps

INGREDIENTS
1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup raisins
Sprouted wheat tortillas
2 cups baby spinach
1 small lime, juiced
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a large bowl, mix together chickpeas, red bell pepper, cilantro and raisins.

2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together lime juice, curry powder, honey, olive oil and salt and pepper.

3. Add the dressing to the chickpea mixture and stir well.  Let sit for 30 minutes to develop flavors or refrigerate to eat at a later time.

4. Add about 1/2 cup of the mixture to a tortilla and top with baby spinach.  Roll tightly and enjoy!
