This chickpea avocado smash wrap is the no-cook lunch that busy people reach for again and again, because it comes together in 10 minutes, requires zero heat, and keeps you genuinely full for hours without feeling heavy. Chickpeas provide plant-based protein and prebiotic fiber that feeds your gut bacteria and supports healthy digestion, while avocado delivers creamy monounsaturated fats that support heart health and help your body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins in every bite. Modern nutrition science shows that combining fiber-rich legumes with healthy fats is one of the most effective pairings for blood sugar stability and long-lasting satiety. The filling also keeps well in the fridge for two days, making this wrap a brilliant meal prep option for the whole week.

INGREDIENTS:
- 1 can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)

- 2 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp cumin
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup fresh spinach

- Assemble and wrap. Lay out tortillas and spread the chickpea-avocado mixture down the center. Top with spinach, tomato slices, and red onion.
