Ingredients

• 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

• 2 tablespoons Buffalo hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 celery stalk, finely diced
• 1 small carrot, grated

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas using a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture.
2. Step 2: Add vegan mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, Buffalo hot sauce, lemon juice, celery, grated carrot, red onion, parsley, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Stir until thoroughly combined.
3. Step 3: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cheese if using onto each wrap.
4. Step 4: Spoon the Buffalo chickpea salad evenly over the fillings on each tortilla. Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired.
5. Step 5: Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to enclose the filling.
6. Step 6: Slice each wrap in half for serving, or wrap in foil for an on-the-go meal.

Tips & Variations

• For added crunch, toss in some chopped celery or cucumber in the filling mix.
• Try swapping cheddar cheese for a vegan alternative to keep this dish plant-based.
• If you prefer less heat, reduce the Buffalo sauce or use a milder hot sauce.
• Serve with extra dressing on the side for dipping.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To keep the tortillas from becoming soggy, consider wrapping the filling separately and assembling just before eating. Reheat briefly in a skillet or microwave if desired, but these wraps are best enjoyed fresh or cold.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or vegan cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. 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.

4. 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.

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.
