Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (vegan friendly)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded romaine lettuce or mixed greens
- 1/4 cup vegan ranch dressing or creamy dressing
Instructions
- Step 1: Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the drained chickpeas and garlic powder, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes until the chickpeas are slightly crispy and beginning to brown.
- Step 2: Reduce the heat to low. Pour the buffalo sauce over the chickpeas and toss gently until every chickpea is thoroughly coated and the sauce is warm and slightly thickened. Remove the skillet from the heat immediately.
- Step 3: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the vegan ranch dressing down the center of each tortilla, leaving enough room at the edges for wrapping.
- Step 4: Spoon 1/4 of the warm buffalo chickpeas down the center of each tortilla, placing them directly over the dressing. Top the chickpeas with the shredded lettuce.
- Step 5: To assemble the wraps, fold in the sides of the tortilla first, then tightly roll the tortilla from the bottom edge upwards. Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for the best texture.
Notes
- Store leftover buffalo chickpeas separately in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge; keeping the hot filling apart from the dressing and lettuce prevents the wraps from becoming soggy.
- To reheat the chickpea filling, use the skillet on low heat with a tiny splash of water or extra buffalo sauce until warmed through, avoiding the microwave which can sometimes make the chickpeas tough.
- For extra crunch and to complement the heat, serve these wraps with a classic side of cold celery and carrot sticks, or a small handful of potato chips.
- Ensure your skillet is hot enough to achieve a slight crispiness on the chickpeas before adding the buffalo sauce; this crucial texture difference prevents the filling from becoming mushy once coated.
