The popular crunchy veggie salad gets a protein boost from chickpeas and is stuffed into high-fiber tortillas for satisfying, make-ahead wraps that are conveniently portable. Be sure to line the tortillas with lettuce leaves to prevent the filling from making the wrap soggy.

RD Tip

Hit your fiber goal with ease by incorporating recipes like this one. While everyone knows broccoli is the quintessential health food, not everyone realizes it’s because it’s a cruciferous vegetable. This class of vegetables carries specific health benefits due to sulforaphane, a powerful antioxidant that might decrease cancer risk.
