  • Cook walnuts and sunflower seeds in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Spread ranch dressing inside each pita half and line with romaine. Slide a cheesy patty into each pita, then top with tomato and avocado.
