Lettuce Wrap with Crispy Airfried Chickpeas and Easy Chipotle Aoili

Do you also overeat on holidays?? I certainly do! Sometimes, I indulge even on holidays that I don't personally celebrate!! 😂🤦‍♀️🤣 I made this recipe a day after Christmas because I badly needed to detox and undo the calorie fest!!

Looks like my lettuce wraps pass Blue's smell test! This adorable opportunist keeps me company in the kitchen because he knows that I'm clumsy and it's only a matter of time before I accidentally drop some of the crispy chickpeas on the floor and he gets to snack on them!

This recipe is super easy and simple, which is helpful and encouraging when you're trying to make better decisions in the kitchen. It's also very versatile and can be easily adjusted to whatever ingredients you prefer or have available!
