05 - Lay out the tortillas and place a handful of spinach or mixed greens down the center of each tortilla.
06 - Top the greens with the chickpea curry salad, then add carrot and cucumber strips.
07 - Fold in the sides and roll up tightly into a wrap.
08 - Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No cooking required means lunch is ready in 20 minutes flat, perfect for days when the stove feels like too much effort.
  • The curry-coconut flavor profile tastes indulgent and complex, but it's just a handful of pantry staples coming together.
02 -
  • Don't skip rinsing the canned chickpeas; that starchy liquid will make your salad gluey instead of creamy.
  • If your wrap falls apart when you bite into it, the greens layer was too thin; use more spinach next time to absorb moisture and act as a cushion.
03 -
  • Warm your tortillas right before assembly; even 20 seconds in the microwave makes the difference between a wrap that tears and one that rolls smoothly.
  • The spinach layer is non-negotiable if you're making these ahead; it's the only thing standing between a soggy tortilla and a structured lunch.
