Hey there!
I’m so excited to share my Chickpea Pesto Wraps with you.
These wraps are not only super easy to whip up, but they also make for a vibrant, satisfying meal.
I remember the first time I made these for a friend’s lunch, and we ended up devouring them in the sun, laughing and sharing stories.
It’s one of those recipes that just feels like a warm hug on a plate!

Ingredients & Substitutions
Using fresh basil is key for that vibrant pesto flavor! If you can't find pine nuts, walnuts work just as well and can be a bit more affordable. Nutritional yeast is such a treasure in vegan cooking—it gives that cheesy taste without any nutritional yeast!
Tips & Notes
- •If you want a little extra zing, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the pesto.
- •These wraps are perfect for meal prep—just assemble them a day ahead and grab them when you need a quick lunch!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add sun-dried tomatoes to the pesto for an extra layer of flavor.
- •You can swap out the chickpeas for white beans if you're in the mood for something different!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They’re best eaten within 2-3 days, but I doubt they'll last that long because they're just so good!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the pesto ahead of time?
Absolutely! I like to make a big batch of pesto and store it in the fridge for a few days. Just give it a stir before using.
What other veggies can I add?
Feel free to get creative! I love adding sliced bell peppers, shredded carrots, or even avocado for a bit of creaminess.
