For The Split Pea Puree:

• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 medium red onion finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves grated
• 1 cup yellow split peas
• 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth or water
• kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lime juice

For The Cilantro Mint Chutney:

• 2 cups fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 cups fresh mint leaves
• 6 medium scallions (aka green onions) thinly sliced
• 1 jalapeño chile ends trimmed seeds discarded, roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

For The Split Pea Wraps:

• 4 whole wheat lavash or tortillas
• plain Greek yogurt
• 2 medium Persian cucumbers end trimmed and rest shaved into long strips on a mandoline or with a peeler
• 2 medium carrots ends trimmed and rest shaved into long strips on a mandoline or with a peeler
• 2 medium firm-ripe avocado pitted and thinly sliced
• 3 to 4 handfules kale sprouts

• Make The Split Pea Puree: Heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil to a small saucepanover medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, stir to coat and cook until just soft. Add the split peas, stir to coat then add the broth, a pinch of each salt and pepper, the cumin and bringto a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook the split peas until they're very tender, about 30 to 40 minutes.

  Transfer the whole mixture to a food processor or blenderand add 2 tablespoons of the lime juice, and additional salt and pepper, as desired. Pulse until the mixture comes together as a dip but it still retains some of its texture. (You want a mixture that's about as thick as hummus — add water as needed to make it thinner.)

• Make The Cilantro Mint Chutney: Combine the 2 cups cilantro leaves, 2 cups mint leaves, finely chopped jalapeno,remaining 1/4 cup lime juice, remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, and all the scallions in a food processororblenderand blenduntil smooth. Taste and add salt, as desired.

• Assemble The Split Pea Wraps:Lay the whole wheat lavash (you may want to cut it in half depending on how big the lavash is) out on a flat surface. Spread the split pea dip in the middle of the wrap then top with a spoonful of yogurt. Layer the cucumber and carrots, avocado slices, sprouts, and cilantro chutney then wrap to close. Repeat to make one more wrap and serve.
