# What You Need:

→ Chickpea Filling

01 - 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
05 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
06 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
08 - 1/3 cup buffalo hot sauce

→ Wrap & Vegetables

09 - 4 large flour tortillas
10 - 1 cup shredded lettuce
11 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
12 - 1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
13 - 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
14 - 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing

# Steps:

01 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chickpeas and sauté for 2–3 minutes until lightly warmed.
02 - Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 more minutes until fragrant.
03 - Stir in buffalo hot sauce and cook for another 2–3 minutes. Lightly mash some of the chickpeas with the back of your spoon to create a chunky texture. Remove from heat.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or microwave for 15–20 seconds until pliable and easy to fold.
05 - Spread 2 tablespoons of dressing down the center of each tortilla. Top with a quarter of the buffalo chickpea mixture, followed by lettuce, carrot, celery, and red onion.
06 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll up tightly. Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in under 30 minutes but tastes like something you spent way more time on
  • The perfect balance of spicy, creamy, and crunch that keeps you coming back for more
  • Customizable heat level and totally meal prep friendly for busy weeks
02 -
  • Mashing just some of the chickpeas creates the perfect texture—too much mashed and it becomes like hummus, too little and the beans fall out everywhere
  • Let the chickpea mixture cool for just a couple minutes before assembling so your tortilla does not get soggy or wilt
  • Do not skip warming the tortillas because room temperature wraps just do not fold as gracefully
03 -
  • Rinse those chickpeas thoroughly and pat them dry if you have time—less water means better sauce adhesion
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one for the best chickpea crisping action
