Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Cook walnuts and sunflower seeds in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Mash chickpeas with a fork in a large bowl (or pulse in a food processor). Stir in toasted walnuts and sunflower seeds, onion, egg, parsley, seasoning blend, and pepper until well combined. Divide mixture in half and shape into patties.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add patties and fry until well browned and heated through, about 3 minutes per side. Lay one Cheddar slice over each patty and remove from the heat.
Step 4
Heat pita round in the medium skillet over medium-low heat until warm, about 1 minute per side. Remove from the skillet and cut in half.
Step 5
Spread ranch dressing inside each pita half and line with romaine. Slide a cheesy patty into each pita, then top with tomato and avocado.
