Ingredients

• 2 cups cubed sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin
• 1 can (15 oz), drained canned chickpeas
• 2 medium ripe pears
• 4 large whole-wheat tortillas
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
2. 2Toss the pumpkin cubes and drained chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. 3Spread in a single layer and roast until the pumpkin is fork-tender with browned edges and the chickpeas are lightly crisp, 22 to 28 minutes, shaking the pan halfway.
4. 4While everything roasts, stir the Greek yogurt with lemon juice and salt to make a quick tangy sauce; keep it cold.
5. 5Core the pears and cut them into thin matchsticks or small dice so they stay crisp inside the wrap.
6. 6Warm the tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20 to 30 seconds per side until pliable, or wrap in a damp towel and microwave briefly.
7. 7Spread a generous spoonful of the yogurt sauce down the center of each tortilla.
8. 8Layer baby spinach, the hot roasted pumpkin and chickpeas, pear pieces, cilantro, and goat cheese.
9. 9Fold in the sides then roll tightly from the bottom to form a secure wrap that holds together when sliced.
10. 10If packing for work, wrap snugly in parchment or foil and keep the extra sauce on the side.
11. 11Let the filling cool a minute before rolling if you prefer the tortilla not to soften too quickly.
12. 12Slice each wrap on the bias and serve immediately while the pumpkin is still warm against the cool pear.
