Vegan lunches made with chickpeas

These 15 lunches lean on chickpeas for staying power, whether folded into a Mediterranean Chickpea Wrap with beets and spinach or spiced up in the Middle Eastern Falafel-Spiced Chickpea Pitas. Many, like the Mediterranean Quinoa Power Bowl, come together in 25 minutes, while quicker options such as the 10-minute wrap fit a tight midday break without skimping on protein.
