Zucchini Garlic Sauce
- 1 zucchini, chopped and cooked in garlic sauce (prepared separately with garlic, yogurt, and salt)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tbsp yogurt
- Salt, to taste
- Toast the Chickpeas: Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat with a little olive oil. Add chickpeas, cumin, minced garlic, chili powder, and paprika. Stir continuously for about 5 minutes until chickpeas are evenly coated with spices and lightly toasted.
- Prepare the Zucchini Garlic Sauce: Cook chopped zucchini with garlic until tender. Mix the zucchini with yogurt, minced garlic, and salt to taste to create a creamy garlic sauce. Set aside.
- Make or Use Hummus: For homemade hummus, blend 1 cup rinsed chickpeas with tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and 1-2 tbsp water until smooth, adjusting water as needed for desired consistency. Alternatively, use store-bought hummus.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and chop cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, sweet peppers, scallions, and gather whole basil leaves, setting them aside for filling the wraps.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat each gluten-free tortilla for a few seconds on each side to make them more pliable for wrapping.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly over each tortilla. Add a layer of spiced chickpeas, then top with chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet peppers, scallions, and basil leaves. Spoon the zucchini garlic sauce over the top.
- Serve: Roll the wrap like a burrito or fold it like a taco. Enjoy immediately while fresh and flavorful.
