Curry Chickpea Lettuce Wraps with Cilantro Lime Rice
Are you ready for the easiest lunch you could whip together in 15 minutes? I have legit been eating these Curry Chickpea Lettuce Wraps with Cilantro Lime Rice all of the time since I first made them a month or so ago!
If you are craving the flavors of curry but are short on time you are going to love these Curry Chickpea lettuce wraps! They are shockingly easy and even with roasting the chickpeas only take about 15 minutes to pull together with less than 10 ingredients that you probably already have in your panty! I used the lettuce as the “wrap” for this recipe but it would be equally as good wrapped in a tortilla or stuffed into a pita! Plus, the cilantro lime rice is so good you’re probably going to want to whip up a big batch to use in all kinds of dishes for the week!
What you are going to need to buy:
Lettuce
One can of Chickpeas
Curry Spice
White Minute Rice
Lime Juice
Fresh Cilantro, chopped fine (or parsley, if you must!)
Avocado
Dairy Free Sour Cream
What you are going to need to do:
Start by preheating your oven to 425
Open the can of chickpeas and drain. Do not rinse.
Keeping the chickpeas in the can add 1 tablespoon of curry spice to the can and swirl around so that all of the chickpeas get covered with the spices.
Place chickpeas on a baking tray with a silicone mat or lined with baking paper.
Bake for 15 minutes, rotating them on the pan about half-way through.
Prepare your rice per the boxed directions allowing 1/4 cup of cooked rice for each wrap you’re making.
Once the rice is finished cooking, add lime juice and cilantro (To taste…I like mine really lime-y)
Open and slice one small avocado.
Mix 3-4 tablespoons of sour-cream with a squeeze of lime juice, just to thin it out a little.
Assembly!
Using your lettuce as your “shell” place your roasted chickpeas on top of a bed of the cilantro lime rice. Add avocado and drizzle sour cream to finish. Garnish with more fresh herbs and a sprinkling of curry powder!
See, told you that was easy! Save any extra chickpeas to use in stews or just to eat as a salty and crunchy snack.
Enjoy!
