Mold the dough into ball and cover it with plastic wrap. Set the dough into the refrigerator while you do the other preparations, about 20 minutes.

When dough has rested, divide it to six equal portions. Mold portions into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle (about 7 inches in diameter).

Preheat a cast iron skillet. Cook the tortillas on a dry skillet, about 30 seconds per side. Put warm tortillas under a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft.

To Make the Chickpea Avocado Filling:

Mix all the ingredients together. Take about third of the mixture aside and purée it with an immersion blender. Add pureed mixture back to other ingredients and stir to combine.

To Make the Wraps:

Spread some avocado and chickpea filling in the middle of tortilla and top it with carrots, red cabbage, spinach, and cilantro.
