This recipe combines the bold flavors of spicy masala chickpeas with creamy avocado and fresh vegetables, all wrapped in homemade pita bread. It's a satisfying and flavorful vegan meal that's perfect for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients: For Pita Bread:. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon instant yeast. 1 teaspoon salt. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 3/4 cup warm water. For Spicy Masala Chickpeas:. 1 can 15 ounces chickpeas, drained and rinsed. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 tablespoon garam masala. 1 teaspoon cumin. 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Salt and pepper to taste. For Avocado Cream:. 1 ripe avocado. 1/4 cup dairy-free yogurt. 1 clove garlic, minced. Juice of 1/2 lime. Salt and pepper to taste. For Assembly:. Fresh lettuce leaves. Chopped tomatoes. Sliced red onion. Cilantro leaves.
Instructions: Warm the oven up to 475F 245C. To make pita bread, mix flour, yeast, and salt in a bowl. Warm up some water and add olive oil. Mix until you get a dough. Work the dough on a floured surface for five minutes, or until it is smooth and springy. Make 6 equal pieces of dough and roll each one into a ball. Make a circle out of each ball that is about 1/4 inch thick. Put on a baking sheet that has parchment paper on it. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden and puffed up. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down. Make the spicy masala chickpeas at the same time. Put olive oil in a pan and heat it over medium-low heat. Salt and pepper should be added along with the chickpeas and garam masala. Stir the chickpeas every once in a while for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are crispy and covered in spices. Mash the avocado in a bowl until it's smooth. This will make the avocado cream. Add the lime juice, diced garlic, dairy-free yogurt, salt, and pepper, and mix them in. Spread avocado cream on each pita bread to put it together. Add lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro leaves, and spicy masala chickpeas on top. Serve right away and enjoy!
