Prep Time30 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Yield5 servings

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 c tahini
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 1/2-1 tsp 1 tsp salt
  • pinch of black pepper
  • 2 - 4 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 block of tofu (pressed and cubed*)
  • 1 15 oz can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • 1/2 onion (chopped)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp coriander
  • pinches of black pepper (and cayenne pepper)
  • 5-6 large whole wheat tortillas
  • Hummus
  • 1 c chopped kale (massaged**)
  • 1/2 c cherry tomatoes (halved)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add all ingredients to a small bowl and mix until combined. Add 2 tbsp of water at a time until the dressing is thinned to your liking. Taste the dressing and add more salt or pepper to taste.
  • Heat the olive oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add the tofu, chickpeas, onion, and garlic, spreading them so they're in an even layer. Do not stir for the first two minutes (this helps ensure crispiness)!
  • Sprinkle the seasonings on top of the tofu and chickpeas.
  • Toss the tofu and chickpeas and allow them to cook evenly on all sides, about 7-10 minutes.
  • Spread about 2 tbsp of hummus on each tortilla.
  • Divide the tofu and chickpeas on top of the hummus.
  • Top each tortilla with a handful of the kale and tomatoes.
  • Drizzle the tahini dressing on top, and then roll each tortilla into a tight burrito shape.
  • Now, heat a large pan over medium heat and place the wraps in the pan, seam-side down. Allow to crips for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
  • Slice and enjoy!

Notes

*Pressing your tofu helps to take the water out, and it's an essential step to make sure your tofu turns out crispy. Simply drain your tofu and wrap the tofu block in a few layers of paper towels. Place something heavy on top of the tofu (like a heavy pot with a lid) and allow it to sit for 1-2 hours. Change out the paper towels if needed.
*Massaging kale makes it much more tender and easier to digest! All you have to do is drizzle the kale with a little bit of olive oil and pinch of salt. Use your hands to work the olive oil and salt into the kale, squeezing and rolling them beneath your hands as if you're giving it a little massage. Voila! :)
