Easy Vegan Spinach and Chickpea Pinwheels
These pinwheels feature a flavorful filling made from mashed chickpeas, fresh spinach, and seasonings, all rolled up in a tortilla. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large tortillas or wraps
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro), chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Mix Ingredients: Add chopped spinach, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Stir until well combined. If using, fold in the fresh herbs.
- Assemble Pinwheels: Lay a tortilla flat and spread a generous amount of the chickpea filling evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll Up: Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Slice and Serve: Cut each rolled tortilla into bite-sized pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
