Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped mint, salt, and cracked black pepper. Stir well and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
- While the chickpeas are marinating, bring a saucepan of water to boil and blanch the cauliflower florets for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
- In a frying pan over medium heat, warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
- To assemble the bento box, layer half of the shredded romaine lettuce on each box.
- Spoon half of the chickpea mixture onto each tortilla and top with blanched cauliflower.
- Optional: Add avocado slices and crumbled feta cheese if desired.
- Roll the tortillas up tightly, then cut each in half. Arrange them in the bento box alongside any extra greens.
- Garnish with more fresh mint and cracked black pepper before serving.
