02 -
- Do not skip warming the tortillas, because cold tortillas crack and ruin the whole experience
- Mashing some of the chickpeas is what makes the filling stay put instead of falling all over the place
03 -

- Let the chickpea mixture cool slightly before assembling so the tortillas do not get soggy
