This is a delicious, healthy, high-protein wrap.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

Β½ red onion, finely chopped

150g lean turkey mince

1 clove garlic, minced or finely chopped

1 red chilli, finely sliced

100g carrot, peeled and cut into fine strips

1 tablespoon low-salt soy sauce

Handful coriander, roughly chopped

Small handful mint, roughly chopped

2 limes, juiced

50g chickpeas, drained and dried on kitchen paper

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

2 wholemeal tortilla wraps

6 spring onions, finely chopped

70g shredded lettuce

Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat half the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry onion until soft. Add in the turkey, garlic and chilli and cook until turkey is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Add in carrot and cook for a further 5 minutes. Drain the excess liquid out of the frying pan and turn off heat.

  2. Step 2

    Add the soy sauce, coriander, mint and lime juice to the turkey mixture and set aside for the flavours to develop.

  3. Step 3

    Heat remaining oil in a separate pan over a high heat and add chickpeas and cumin seeds. Cook until crispy; keep them moving so they don’t burn.

  4. Step 4

    Warm the tortilla wraps. Divide the turkey mixture equally between the two wraps. Top with chopped spring onions, chickpeas and lettuce. Seal and roll-up wraps to serve.
