# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 20 minutes, making it perfect for those days when you're hungry right now, not in an hour.
  • The texture contrast between creamy avocado and hearty chickpeas keeps things interesting with every bite.
  • One batch feeds four, but you can easily scale it down or make extras that actually taste good the next day.
02 -
  • Don't skip warming the tortillas—cold ones will tear and your wrap becomes a bowl you're eating with your hands, which is fun but not the vibe.
  • The avocado will brown if it sits too long, so make these when you're actually ready to eat them or assemble them last-minute if you're meal-prepping.
03 -
  • Buy avocados a few days before you need them and let them sit on your counter—they'll ripen perfectly and be much easier to mash than rock-hard ones straight from the store.
  • Toast your spices in a dry pan for 20 seconds before adding them if you have time; it wakes them up and makes the whole filling taste more complex and intentional.
