- Spread garlic tahini sauce on one side of each bread piece.
- Add roasted cauliflower and chickpeas, then a spoonful of slaw.
- Drizzle with herby jalapeño sauce and extra tahini sauce if desired.
- Cooking tips:
- For extra crunch, roast the chickpeas separately for an additional 5-10 minutes after removing the cauliflower from the oven.
- If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, roast the garlic cloves in their skins for 10 minutes and then mince before adding to the tahini sauce.
- To achieve the perfect balance in your tahini sauce, taste as you go and adjust the lemon juice, salt, or water based on your preference.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm roasted vegetables and fresh slaw in the wraps.
