Some days, lunch feels like one more impossible task on a never-ending to-do list. Especially when my energy is low and I’m struggling with a lack of executive dysfunction. That’s when I turn to my lazy chickpea salad wraps, a quick, nourishing meal that comes together in minutes with almost no effort. Using just a can of chickpeas and a few simple mix-ins, you can have a creamy, protein-packed filling ready to scoop into wraps, pita bread, or even onto crackers if that’s what your spoons allow. It’s budget-friendly, customizable with whatever you have in the fridge, and best of all, it tastes just as good the next day. This is one of those low-spoon recipes that makes eating well feel easy, even on your busiest (or lowest energy) afternoons.

You can make these lazy chickpea salad wraps gluten-free or grain-free by using tortillas, pita, bread, or crackers that are gluten-free or grain-free.  This recipe is naturally dairy-free.

Low-spoon tip:

• Use pre-chopped salad kits instead of plain greens.

• Add some canned chicken for extra protein.

• Double the batch and store the chickpea mix in the fridge for 3–4 days—instant lunches all week.

• Feel free to add other vegetables if you want. This is also great with chopped tomatoes!

• You can also eat the filling with crackers or straight from the bowl if wrapping feels like too much work.
