# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 200°C. Combine diced beets and dried chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to evenly coat, then arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking tray. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once halfway, until beets are tender and chickpeas are golden and crisp.

In a mixing bowl, whisk tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and maple syrup or honey until integrated. Gradually incorporate warm water until a smooth, pourable sauce forms. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt as needed.

Gently warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. On each, layer greens, roasted beet and chickpea mixture, carrots, cucumber, and pickled onions if using. Drizzle with tahini-lemon sauce and top with fresh herbs. Roll tightly or fold and serve immediately.

Ensure chickpeas are fully dry before roasting for maximum crispness.
