- Whisk the Bright Dressing In a small jar or bowl, shake or whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, zest, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
- Dress & Toss Pour the dressing over the chickpea mixture. Toss gently until everything is beautifully coated. Taste and adjust seasoning. Let sit 5 minutes so flavors meld (or use immediately!).
- Assemble the Wraps Warm tortillas for 10 seconds in the microwave if desired. Spread a thin layer of hummus (optional) down the center, pile on a generous scoop of chickpea salad, and add any extras. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up.

Pro Tips for Wrap Perfection
- Don’t over-drain chickpeas — a little moisture helps the salad stay juicy.
- Chop everything small for easy rolling and even flavor in every bite.
- Make it vegan by skipping feta and adding extra olives or nutritional yeast.
- Gluten-free? Use large gluten-free tortillas or serve in lettuce cups.
- Spice it up with a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced pepperoncini.
Make-Ahead & Meal Prep Magic
This recipe was made for busy lives!
- Prepare the chickpea salad up to 3 days ahead and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Assemble wraps the night before — they stay fresh wrapped in parchment or foil.
- Keep dressing separate if prepping more than 24 hours ahead.
