Ingredients (Serves 2)

For the wrap:

  • 1 cup almond flour

  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour

  • 1 tablespoon psyllium husk

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder

  • 3/4 cup warm water (adjust as needed)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or any preferred oil)

For the filling:

  • 1/2 cup boiled and mashed chickpeas

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped tomato

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped cucumber

  • 1/4 cup grated carrot

  • 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder

  • Salt to taste

  • 2 tablespoons low-fat yogurt or Greek yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)

For assembling:

  • 1/4 cup finely sliced lettuce

  • 2 tablespoons green chutney (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the wrap dough

  • In a bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, salt, and cumin powder

  • Slowly add warm water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix to form a dough

  • Once the dough comes together, knead it for 2–3 minutes to ensure it’s smooth and soft

  • Cover and let the dough rest for 10 minutes

2. Make the filling

  • In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat

  • Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown

  • Add the boiled and mashed chickpeas, tomato, cucumber, and carrot, and cook for 3-4 minutes

  • Stir in cumin powder, red chili powder, salt, and lemon juice

  • Remove from heat and mix in the fresh coriander leaves

  • Set the filling aside and allow it to cool slightly

  • Mix in the yogurt to add creaminess to the filling

3. Roll the wraps

  • Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each portion into a ball

  • Place a dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin circle

  • Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat and cook the rolled-out dough for 1–2 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through

  • Set the cooked wrap aside and repeat with the second ball of dough

4. Assemble the Veg Frankie wrap

  • Spread a spoonful of green chutney (optional) on the center of each wrap

  • Add a layer of lettuce leaves

  • Place the prepared chickpea filling on top

  • Fold the sides of the wrap inwards, then roll it up tightly to secure the filling

  • Slice in half, and your Veg Frankie wrap is ready to serve!

Tips

  • For a gluten-free version, stick to the almond flour and coconut flour mix for the wrap

  • Feel free to add other protein-rich ingredients like tofu, paneer, or edamame to the filling for extra protein

  • To reduce carbs further, skip the wrap and serve the filling in lettuce cups instead

  • If you prefer a bit of crunch, you can add roasted peanuts or sunflower seeds to the filling

  • You can also make the wraps ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat on a pan before serving
