Instructions
 

Prepare the Quinoa:

    - In a medium pot, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let cool.

      Make the Crispy Chickpeas:

        - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

          - In a bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

            - Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy.

              Prepare the Salad:

                - In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced bell pepper, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, corn, parsley, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.

                  Make the Dressing:

                    - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and toss to combine.

                      Assemble the Wraps:

                        - Lay out a tortilla on a clean surface. Add a handful of extra greens, followed by a generous scoop of the quinoa salad and a handful of crispy chickpeas.

                          - Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go, to secure the filling.

                            Serve:

                              - Slice the wraps in half and serve with a side of your favorite dressing or dip. Enjoy your refreshing, nutritious meal!
