Chickpea Mixture
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wrap Assembly
- 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta or dairy-free cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup ranch or vegan ranch dressing
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
- Prepare the Chickpeas: In a medium bowl, mash the drained chickpeas with a fork or potato masher, leaving some whole for texture.
- Season the Mixture: Stir in the hot sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust the hot sauce according to your spice preference.
- Heat the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, add the seasoned chickpea mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through, stirring occasionally.
- Warm the Tortillas: In a separate pan or directly on a clean stovetop, warm your tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side, just until pliable.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each warm tortilla flat. Start by adding an even layer of shredded lettuce, followed by the heated buffalo chickpea mixture, diced tomatoes, and feta cheese if using.
- Drizzle with Dressing: Add a drizzle of ranch dressing across the ingredients in each wrap.
- Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll from the bottom up, ensuring the filling stays securely inside.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice each wrap in half, garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired, and enjoy your spicy buffalo chickpea wraps while they’re warm!
Notes
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to make the wraps as mild or spicy as you prefer.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free cheese and vegan ranch dressing.
- You can add extra vegetables like shredded carrots or cucumber slices for more crunch.
- Leftover filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve with a side of celery sticks or carrot sticks for a complete buffalo-flavored meal.
