Recipe- Easy To Make Vegetarian Pita Wraps

Easy to make Vegetarian Pita Wraps with chickpea, kidney bean, pesto and topped with a yogurt dill sauce! Dinner ready in less than 30 minutes.

These wraps get ready in less than 30 minutes. You can use homemade or store bought pita bread and pesto for this recipe. I obviously recommend homemade but store bought definitely saves time and sometimes we all could do with saving little time. Agree? To make these wraps, slice the onion and pepper and saute them with some garlic. Then add the boiled chickpeas and kidney beans and also add the pesto and spices. Cook it for a minutes or two and while doing so, crush the chickpeas and beans slightly with the back of your spoon. I like doing this since it’s gives the filling a spread like consistency.
