Chef's Note
For the best texture, don't overcook the chickpeas - they should be warm and slightly crispy but not hard. If you have time, make your own tzatziki with Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and dill for a fresher flavor. This wrap can be assembled up to 4 hours ahead and wrapped tightly in foil for a portable lunch.
