# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss diced beets and dried chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking tray in a single layer. 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 smooth. Gradually add warm water to reach a creamy, pourable consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste.

Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Layer greens, roasted beet and chickpea mixture, shredded carrots, cucumber strips, and pickled onions if using on each tortilla. Drizzle with tahini-lemon sauce and garnish with fresh herbs. Roll or fold wraps tightly and serve immediately.
