Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Chick peas
Provide the main body and bulk of the filling, mashed to keep some chunky texture.
Dijon style vegan mustard
Adds sharp, tangy flavor and helps bind the mashed filling smooth.
Kosher dill pickle
Adds acidic, briny crunch that brightens the mashed chickpea filling.

The step that matters

Mash the chickpeas to the right texture. Mashing until only partly smooth gives the filling body and some chunks to bite into. Over-mashing makes it pasty, while under-mashing leaves it dry and hard to spread onto the wrap.

Swap the peas

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (olive, mustard, cucumber, tomato, mushroom, lettuce, alfalfa):

  1. Chickpeafits better
  2. Beansfits better
  3. Lentilsfits better
  4. Peasthe original
