UNDERSTANDING THE WHY & HOW OF BACK PAIN
There are a lot of different reasons that back pain can develop. Even when you break down injuries, whether from overuse or athletic pursuits, there are different problems that can develop. Sprains and strains are common, but so are issues with the vertebrae, blood flow, and even concerns regarding the spinal nerves. You might be amazed to discover the different factors that could be influencing your back health. Such as: • Your personal level of physical activity, including how often you exercise and the intensity of your typical workouts. • The types of shoes that you wear, in addition to how frequently you walk in different types of shoes, particularly shoes that lack support or those with high heels. • Prolonged engagement in sedentary behavior, including sitting at a desk for eight hours or more consecutive days of the week, or spending free time on the couch or otherwise relaxed.

DIRECTIONS Using a fork, roughly mash chickpeas in a bowl. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook for 3 min, then add garlic and spice mix and sauté for 1 min. Add all other sauce ingredients and chickpeas to the pan and bring mixture to a boil. Let simmer on low heat for about 2-4 min, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat. Add more chili powder to taste. Preheat oven to 410 degrees F (210 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place about 2 tbsp of the filling onto each tortilla and roll them up tightly. Place every tortilla seam-side down on the baking sheet, next to each other. Brush them with a little bit of vegetable oil (to make them even more crispy). Bake in the oven for about 15-20 min or until they are golden brown and crispy. Drizzle with vegan cheese sauce (optional). Enjoy!
