Healthy Curry Chickpea Lettuce Wraps

These Healthy Curry Chickpea Lettuce Wraps are my new favorite easy lunch to make! This is Vegan, Gluten Free, and loaded with flavor.

I’ve been trying to come up with more quick healthy lunch options this year. I just get sick of making the same boring thing for lunch everyday and wanted to spice things up a bit.

I had a couple of cans of Chickpeas in my cupboard, because lately I’ve been making homemade Hummus a lot. Some of my latest Hummus addictions have been this Creamy Beet Hummus, or this Cilantro Lime Hummus.

So I got to thinking, hmmm why don’t I try to make something with these Chickpeas other than Hummus! 🙂

I love all things Curry, so I wanted to create a Curry flavored Chickpea Lettuce Wrap.

For this I just added two cans of Chickpeas (drained and rinsed) to a large bowl. Added some chopped Red Pepper, Onion, Carrots, and Cashews. Minced some Garlic over it and added some fresh Cilantro leaves.

Then I added in EVOO, Just Mayo (this brand is egg and dairy free), fresh Lime Juice, Turmeric, Curry Powder, Sea Salt, and Pepper.

Mix it really well and scoop into your favorite Lettuce Leaf to make a wrap!

The beauty of this recipe is that you can tweak it to your spice level. If you’re new to using Curry, I recommend starting with 1-2 tsp of Curry Powder. After stirring it in, give it a taste. If you find you want more Curry flavor or spice then add more in.

I prefer more of a medium spice, so I used 1 Tbs of Curry Powder, for me that was perfect. But if you really love the spice then by all means, add as much as you can handle! 🙂
