CHICKPEA SPREAD

I ordered something similar to this chickpea spread on a wrap at a café one day. It was really tasty so I came home and did my best  to replicate the recipe in the kitchen. It is an easy filling for sandwiches or wraps and the combination of chickpeas and tofu gives it a high protein boost!
