2. In a small bowl, smash the avocado until it is completely smooth. Add the mayo and lemon juice and mix. Add to the chickpeas.
3. Throw everything else in there and mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Place the chickpea salad onto oneFlatout wrap, leaving room on all edges (watch the video to see how it’s done).
5. Fold the bottom, longside edge and then the side edges. Roll like a cone.
6. In a heated skillet, grill on each side to keep from opening up.
7. Cut out a star shape in the tops of each radish. Place the snap pea through the skewer for the leaf and then the radish flower.
8. Place 1/4 c. lettuce into the opening of the sandwich wrap. Add the radish flowers and serve.
