What else would you use chickpeas for? A salad...maybe. Sandwiches...if it was hummus...
In line with the "try to be healthier through the holidays" I thought I would try chickpea wraps.
OK, backup.
A birthday celebration and a need to make vegetarian sandwiches. I know egg, asparagus and cream cheese, and cheese and cherry fit the bill, but they are not exactly low calorie.
So I thought chickpeas. They were delicious. And healthy. And would make a great addition to a holiday party buffet!

Chickpea Wraps
Small tortilla wraps (your choice of flavour)
1 can chickpeas, drained
2 stalks celery, diced
1 small shallot, minced (about 1 Tbsp)
1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp dill
salt and pepper to taste
With a pastry blender or potato masher, roughly break up the chickpeas. Add the remaining ingredients and blend well.

Roll up in the small tortillas (about 6 depending on how much filling you use), and slice in half to serve.
