INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked chickpeas (164g)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (93g)
2 large egg whites (66g)
2 tbsp rolled oats (16g)
1 tbsp nutritional yeast (5g)
50g firm tofu, crumbled
1/4 cup grated carrot (25g)
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper (37g)
1/4 cup diced onion (40g)
2 Romaine lettuce leaves (30g)
1 tsp cumin powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas lightly with a fork, leaving a few chunks for texture.
Mix in the cooked quinoa, egg whites, rolled oats, nutritional yeast, and crumbled tofu until well incorporated.
Add the grated carrot, diced red bell pepper, and diced onion. Sprinkle in the cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir all ingredients until they form a cohesive mixture.
Form the mixture into patties, about the size of your hand, pressing gently to hold their shape.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray if desired. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are crispy and golden brown.
Prepare the lettuce wraps by rinsing and patting dry the Romaine lettuce leaves.
Place the crispy veggie patty in the center of each lettuce leaf and serve immediately as a light, nutritious wrap.
