How to make Chickpeas Avocadao Salad Smash Wrap
- Scoop it out! Cut the avocado in half. Remove the pit and carefully scoop out the avocado flesh (if you want to use the skin for a bowl).
- Smash it up: In a bowl, combine drained chickpeas and avocado. Use a fork or potato masher and smash to your desired consistency. I like mine chunky!
- Wrap it or eat it naked! Place the avocado chickpea smash filling on a gluten-free tortilla (I love Siete grain-free tortillas!), a slice of bread, or serve it naked in the avocado “bowl”
- Add toppings. Add additional veggies of your choice, including leafy greens, shredded carrots, chopped onions, cucumbers, sprouts, broccoli slaw, or whatever you prefer. Enjoy!

Duah Liz link in profile you said hah! Love this and I couldn’t agree more… esp with the first food for kids!!
what a great idea to combine it with chickpeas
I served it to all my babies as a first food too: 8, 5, 3, 1! The funny thing is the 3 y old never really liked them until NOW…when he’s almost 4. But I never gave up and just kept offering to him. It just took him almost 4 years to decide they are delicious!
Love your avocado smash EA! We love avocados in our home – just wish we lived in California! I’ve made avocados with an egg baked in the middle served with a miso sauce – the kids love it.
This sounds awesome!! Even though avocados contain FODMAPs, I still include them in my diet whenever I can. I like eating them mashed into spaghetti squash, topped with olive oil. De delicious!
These look fantastic and I will definately try them in a wrap. Do you think the avoado will stay green if I make them in the mornining and pack in a wrap for lunch?
Hi Betsy! Thanks so much for your comment, and, the great thing about smashing the avocado together with the chickpeas, is that the “smash” is more of a tannish color than green, so you should be fine making this in the morning and packing it for lunch 🙂 Enjoy!!
What’s NOT my favorite way to eat an avocado? Seriously obsessed. I often eat them on an open faced BLTA on good crusty whole grain bread with a drizzle of olive oil with a sprinkle of S&P. Avocado was one of my daughter’s first foods, too – of course now she’s going through a picky stage but I have faith she’ll come back around (because she sees me eating them ALL THE TIME.) Digging this Smash!
Did you say bacon with avocado??? Oh, yes, yum!!! Confession time…in high school, back when I was running cross country and could handle the extra calories, my friends and I would go to the deli after practice, and get huge turkey, bacon, and avocado sandwiches on sourdough bread. Of course we would still eat dinner a few hours later 🙂 I’ve got no doubt your daughter will come around. My own kids “come” and “go”, but overall they seem to be heading in the right direction 🙂
I go through a ridiculous amount of avocados. I most often have them for breakfast as they are a super start to the day smashed onto wholegrain sourdough toast, and topped with tomatoes, lime and something like dukkah. Chickpeas will make it even heartier and satiating, especially with greens. I think you will have convinced a few avocado-phobes with this simple recipe and reassuring facts – avocados are GOOD for weight watchers! Wish we could growm them here. You lucky thing, you. 😀
Plain old avocado smashed on to glutenfree toast is another favorite of mine too! I wish you could grow your own avocado trees in Scotland too Kellie! Sending you a virtual tree 🙂
I need to try making salad dressing with avocados-sounds delicious Andrea! Glad you like the naked smash 🙂
I LOVE avocados. Sometimes I just eat the plain with a bit of salt. I also love them as the base of a salad dressing. And as guacamole of course. So many delicious ways!
Love your naked avocado smash! Great idea!
