Prep and Roast: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss chickpeas and broccoli florets with olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy and golden.
Assemble the Burrito: Warm the whole wheat tortillas for 10-15 seconds in the microwave to make them pliable. Distribute the roasted chickpea and broccoli mixture evenly among tortillas. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, avocado slices, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Final Touches: Squeeze lime juice over the filling before rolling each tortilla into a burrito. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. For an extra kick, serve with your favorite hot sauce or salsa.
