Garbanzo Wraps

Makes 6 wraps

These roll-ups are a portable meal in a edible wrapper, perfect for lunches or picnics.

1 carrot, scrubbed
1 – 2 garlic cloves
1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, drained
1 tablespoon tahini
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon paprika
6 flour tortillas or chapatis
2 cups cooked brown rice
3 cups (approximately) pre-washed salad mix
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Finely chop carrot and garlic in a food processor or by hand. Add garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, and paprika and process until smooth, or mash until well mixed.

Spread about 1/2 cup of the garbanzo mixture along the center of a tortilla or chapati and top it with about 1/3 cup rice and 1/2 cup salad mix. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if using. Roll the tortilla or chapati firmly around the filling.
