Ingredients

Scale

Buffalo Chickpea Filling

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce

Fresh Veggies

  • 1 cup fresh lettuce, washed and chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots

Wrap Components

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Ranch or vegan ranch dressing, as needed

Instructions

  1. Roast the Chickpeas: Drain and rinse canned chickpeas, then pat them dry thoroughly to ensure they crisp up nicely. Toss the chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, then spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  2. Toss Chickpeas with Buffalo Sauce: Once roasted, transfer chickpeas to a mixing bowl and generously coat them with buffalo sauce, making sure each chickpea is well covered for maximum flavor.
  3. Prepare Fresh Veggies: While chickpeas roast, wash and chop lettuce, dice tomatoes, and shred carrots to have fresh, crunchy ingredients ready.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas and spread a layer of ranch or vegan ranch dressing on each. Add a generous portion of buffalo chickpeas followed by fresh veggies. Roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to secure the fillings.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the wraps in half for easier handling and serve immediately to enjoy the warm, spicy chickpeas balanced by the cooling, crisp vegetables.

Notes

  • Dry Chickpeas Well: Ensure chickpeas are well-dried before roasting to achieve a crispy texture.
  • Customize Your Sauce: Mix buffalo sauce with honey or maple syrup if you prefer a slightly sweet glaze that balances the heat.
  • Warm the Tortillas: Briefly warm tortillas to make them more pliable and prevent cracking when rolling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh veggies add crunch and a refreshing contrast to the spicy chickpeas.
  • Double the Batch: Make extra roasted buffalo chickpeas to keep for salads or snacks later.
