Ingredients
Scale
Buffalo Chickpea Salad
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Buffalo hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 celery stalk, finely diced
- 1 small carrot, grated
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Wrap Assembly
- 4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or vegan cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Mash Chickpeas: In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the drained chickpeas, leaving some chunks to retain texture and bite.
- Mix Salad Components: Add vegan mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, Buffalo hot sauce, fresh lemon juice, finely diced celery, grated carrot, diced red onion, chopped fresh parsley, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Stir thoroughly until well combined.
- Prepare Tortilla Base: Lay the large flour or whole wheat tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese (if using) onto each tortilla, forming the base of the wrap.
- Fill Wraps: Spoon the prepared Buffalo chickpea salad evenly over the layered vegetables and cheese on each tortilla. Drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing over the filling if desired for extra flavor.
- Roll Wraps: Tightly roll up each tortilla by folding in the sides and rolling so that the filling is enclosed securely inside the wrap.
- Serve or Pack: Slice each wrap in half for convenient serving. Alternatively, wrap each in foil for a portable, on-the-go meal option.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use vegan mayonnaise and vegan cheese, and choose a plant-based ranch or blue cheese dressing.
- Adjust Buffalo hot sauce quantity for milder or spicier wraps as preferred.
- These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated wrapped in foil for up to 24 hours.
- Feel free to add other crunchy vegetables such as cucumber or bell peppers for added texture.
- To reduce calories, omit cheese and choose Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
