The combination makes for a rich, creamy and zesty filling that is perfectly balanced by the crunchy lettuce wrap. Wash lettuce leaves and pat dry.

Garbanzo Mini Lettuce Wraps instructions

1. Drain & rinse the garbanzo beans.
2. Throw all of the ingredients (except for the lettuce leaves, obviously) into a large bowl or something where it won't make a mess.
3. Using a potato masher or whatever you can find if you don't have one, get creative, smash the mixture until you don't see any more round garbanzos around..
4. Put some of the mixture into one of the lettuce leaves but don't put too much in, otherwise it wont wrap up well. Place it towards the wider part of the leaf. The garbanzos should be in a sort of parallel line with the stem of the leaf..
5. Wrap it up - Fold the sides where the garbanzos are inwards so that it covers some of them. Then, gently, roll the rest of the leaf following the stem line. Be careful when wrapping it, the leaves can break easily..
6. optional - If you want to want to try it with the cilantro pesto (which I highly recommend you do), I used the one from this recipe.. just but a bit all around the leaf before wrapping it up: http://thugkitchen.com/post/46773308203/im-so-tired-of-mother-fuckers-asking-where-do.

Spoon a healthy serving of chickpea mixture onto lettuce wraps and serve immediately. In a small bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients: mayo, greek yogurt, lemon juice, curry powder, and salt. Pour the sauce over the chickpeas and stir in the raisins, chopped celery and chopped walnuts. I discovered last summer that I really like lettuce wraps and they can be just as satisfying as any old tortilla or pita or whatever wrap. I eat satisfying salads all the time, so I'm not sure why this took so long to sink in.
