Summary

Cool romaine lettuce and barbecue-flavored chickpeas combine to create great flavor and texture in this hearty pita sandwich. This pairs well with many simple companions—potatoes or sweet potatoes, fresh corn, a simple quinoa salad or pilaf, or a light soup. And steamed green veggies are always welcome, too.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable broth or water
1 medium onion, quartered and sliced

2 teaspoons good-quality chili powder
1 1/2 to 2 cups cooked or canned (drained and rinsed) chickpeas
2 large fresh pitas, preferably whole wheat
Finely shredded romaine lettuce to taste
Fresh green sprouts, such as broccoli sprouts or pea shoots, to taste (optional)
2 medium ripe fresh tomatoes, thinly sliced
