Broccoli is rich in vitamin K and calcium, which support bone health.

If the tortilla is made from wheat, barely, or rye, it is not gluten free.

Ingredients

Makes 4 Servings


  • 2 broccoli stalks
  • 1 15-oz (254-g) garbanzo beans
  • 1/2 c (78 g) roasted red peppers
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) tahini
  • 3 tbsp (60 mL) lemon juice
  • 4 whole-wheat flour tortillas
  • 6 tbsp (194 g) salsa

Directions

  1. Cut or break broccoli into florets. Peel stalks and cut into 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) rounds. Steam broccoli over boiling water until just barely tender, about 5 minutes.



  2. Drain garbanzo beans and place in a food processor with peppers, tahini (if using), and lemon juice. Process until completely smooth, about 2 minutes.



  3. Spread about 1/4 of the garbanzo mixture on a tortilla and place in a large, heated skillet. Heat until tortilla is warm and soft, about 2 minutes. Arrange a line of cooked broccoli down the center, and then sprinkle with salsa. Roll tortilla around filling and remove from heat.



  4. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve warm.
