I made this sandwich without the chick peas and just mashed 1/2 of an avocado, added some chopped red onion and celery. Sprinkled it with about 1/4 of juice of a lemon, salt and pepper. Spread it on Dave’s Seed Bread, added a few slices of cucumber, and used avocado mayo. Yum! Thanks for the inspiration. So quick, easy and delicious!

Just made with ingredients I had. It was delicious. I put in a Millet and flax wrap. One thing to note chickpeas + bread or wrap is double carbs. Chickpeas are an excellent source of protein but starchy. Keep in mind with portion of chickpeas if you are adding to grains (rice, bread, wrap), sweet potato. Good to have an idea for balanced eating.
So good! I ended up using half a can of chickpeas (so a bit more than half a cup) and chipotle chili pepper in place of the cayenne. I spread it on whole grain naan and topped with spinach and tomato slices. I could eat this every day!
