Ingredients
Scale
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup buffalo sauce (or more, to taste)
4 large flour tortillas
2 celery stalks, finely diced
1/2 cup shredded romaine lettuce
2 tablespoons ranch or blue cheese dressing
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Step 1: Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. In a medium bowl, mash about half of the chickpeas with a fork, leaving the other half whole for texture.
Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the mashed and whole chickpeas along with the garlic powder. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly heated through and lightly browned.
Step 3: Remove the skillet from the heat. Pour in the buffalo sauce and stir until all the chickpeas are evenly coated. Set aside.
Step 4: To assemble the wraps, lay out one large flour tortilla. Spread about 1 tablespoon of ranch or blue cheese dressing down the center of the tortilla.
Step 5: Spoon a generous portion of the buffalo chickpea mixture over the dressing. Top with shredded romaine lettuce and diced celery.
Step 6: Fold in the short sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to create a secure wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and serve immediately.
Notes
Keep leftover buffalo chickpea mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, storing lettuce, celery, and tortillas separately to prevent sogginess.
To enjoy your stored buffalo chickpeas later, gently reheat the mixture in a skillet over medium-low heat or microwave until warm, then reassemble with fresh toppings for that just-made taste.
While perfect on their own, these wraps are extra satisfying served alongside a simple side salad with a light vinaigrette or some crunchy carrot sticks for added freshness.
Don't skip the sautéing step for the chickpeas; a few minutes in the pan with garlic powder truly deepens their flavor and gives them a fantastic texture before the buffalo sauce is added, making your wraps extra delicious.
