Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces whole grain flatbreads
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 medium, sliced cucumber

- 0.25 cup, sliced kalamata olives
- 1 cup baby spinach

Instructions
Drain and rinse the chickpeas. In a medium bowl, combine the chickpeas, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mash the mixture with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky.
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and warm the flatbreads for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until they are soft and pliable.
Spread the chickpea mixture evenly over each flatbread.
Layer the cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, kalamata olives, and baby spinach on top of the chickpea mixture.
Sprinkle the dried oregano over the top for added Mediterranean flavor.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables.
Fold the flatbreads to enclose the fillings and serve immediately.
