Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, water, cumin, and paprika. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, with a consistency similar to thin pancake batter.
- Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate and the spices to blend.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of oil or cooking spray.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, quickly tilting and rotating the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.
- Cook the crepe for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to look dry and the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the crepe using a thin spatula.
- Cook the second side for an additional 1-2 minutes. Transfer the finished crepe to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
- In a separate pan, sauté the chopped onions until translucent and lightly caramelized.
- To assemble, lay out a chickpea crepe and add sautéed onions, diced tomatoes, and avocado slices.
- Carefully roll the crepe into a burrito shape, tucking in the sides to prevent filling from falling out.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Perfect the Batter: Ensure your chickpea flour batter is smooth and lump-free for the best crepe texture. A thin pancake batter consistency is ideal.
- Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes. This step is crucial as it helps the flavors meld and the flour to fully hydrate, resulting in a better crepe.
- Temperature Control: Make sure your skillet is at the right temperature. If it’s too hot, the crepes may burn; too cool, and they won’t cook properly. Medium heat works best.
- Flipping Made Easy: Use a thin spatula to carefully flip the crepes once the edges appear dry. Practice makes perfect, so don’t worry if your first few aren’t perfect!
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to get creative with your fillings! Add sautéed bell peppers, spinach, or your favorite vegan cheese to make it even more delicious.
- Garnish for Flavor: Fresh cilantro adds a burst of flavor, but you can also try lime juice or hot sauce for an extra kick.
- Serve Immediately: These crepes are best enjoyed fresh off the skillet, so serve them warm for the ultimate taste experience.
