DIRECTIONS

Add the chickpeas to a pan with the harissa paste. Add about 1/4 cup of water and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes to slightly soften the chickpeas.

Smash about 1/4 of the chickpeas with a fork. Keep warm until ready to build the burritos.

Mix all the tabouli ingredients and set aside in the fridge.

Mix all the tzatziki ingredients and set aside in the fridge.

Mix all the salsa ingredients and set aside in the fridge.

Mix all the kofta ingredients and form small but thick burger-like patties. Preheat grill to high. Grill kofta for about 8 minutes per side to brown and cook to medium well.

Microwave the tortilla for about 15 seconds and place onto a square of foil.

Add the tabouli, then the chickpeas, then the kofta, then the salsa, then the tzatziki.

Roll up the tortilla and seal with the foil.

Serve.
