Ingredients

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

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)

Instructions

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!
