Method

Rinse and drain the chickpeas, removing any dry skins. Place the chickpeas, oregano, oil and garlic in a food processor. Process until finely chopped. Chop the beetroot and add to the processor with any beet juice in the packet. Add lemon rind and 3 tablespoons lemon juice. Process, scraping down the sides of the bowl until smooth. Season. Spoon into a container and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight if you have time.

Cut each wrap into 12 wedges. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the wrap triangles, in batches, 1 to 2 minutes each side until golden. Remove to a tray to cool.

For lunch, serve 1 cup chickpea & beetroot dip, with 12 pieces toasted wrap and vegetables.

TIPS: You need to buy 3 x 400g cans chickpeas for the recipe. The dip will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 7 days. Its best to store in container just large enough to hold the dip and cover the surface with a clean piece of wrap or baking paper. You can also bake the grain wraps. Place wrap triangles in a single layer on baking trays. Bake in 200°C fan forced oven for 7 to 8 minutes until light golden. Cool. They will keep 2 to 3 days in an airtight bag or jar. 250g packets cooked whole beets can be found in the fruit and vegetable section of the supermarket, alternately you can use 450g can whole baby beetroot + 2 tablespoon juice.
