# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in 20 minutes flat, which means you can actually make lunch instead of ordering it.
  • The spiced chickpeas stay perfectly crispy against the creamy avocado, so every bite feels intentional.
  • It's forgiving enough to customize based on what's in your fridge, but structured enough that it always tastes great.
02 -
  • Don't skip rinsing the chickpeas unless you want a gummy, salty texture that'll ruin the whole thing.
  • Lime juice is the secret that keeps avocado from browning and brings all the spice flavors into focus—without it, the wrap tastes flat.
03 -
  • Warm your tortillas right before filling—cold ones tear, and that split second of planning saves you from frustration.
  • Squeeze fresh lime juice just before mixing because the flavor fades fast, and bottled never quite captures that brightness you're after.
