Buffalo Chickpea Wrap Recipe Ingredients

• Chickpeas – I used two cans of chickpeas for this recipe. I often buy the generic brand of canned beans, but I have noticed that generic brand chickpeas can be a little hard sometimes, so I like to pay a little extra and get some that I know will be easily mashable and have great texture for these wraps. White beans could be substituted for chickpeas, if needed.
• Veggies – I like to add celery, green onion, red onion and parsley to the chickpea salad. They add crunch and freshness. Carrots would also be a great addition.
• Tahini – I used tahini as a sauce for the chickpea salad, but mayonnaise can also be used. The tahini adds a little extra flavor and compliments the buffalo sauce well.
• Buffalo Sauce – I like to use Sweet Baby Ray’s Mild buffalo sauce that I buy at Walmart. You can use whatever kind of buffalo sauce you prefer.
• Lemon Juice – A little squeeze of lemon juice adds a tangy kick that goes well with the buffalo sauce. You can omit if desired though.
• Spices – The buffalo chickpea salad gets seasoned with garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
• Wraps – I just used large burrito sized flour tortillas, but any kind of wrap will work. I like to warm my wrap a little first so it rolls up easily.
• Optional Fillings – I also like to add some creamy avocado and shredded romaine lettuce that I toss with some ranch dressing. Feel free to add other toppings that you like!

How To Make Buffalo Chickpea Salad

1. To a large bowl, add the chickpeas and give them a light mash with a fork. I like to mash most of them, while leaving a few of them whole. Next, add in celery, green onion, red onion, parsley, tahini, buffalo sauce, lemon juice, spices, salt and pepper. Mix everything together well until completely combined.
2. Add the shredded lettuce to a bowl, along with desired amount of ranch dressing and toss together until lettuce is coated.
3. Warm tortilla on the stovetop with a little bit of cooking spray or in the microwave. Lay tortilla on a flat surface. Assemble your wraps by laying down a few slices of avocado in the center, next add a few scoops of the lettuce, followed by a few big scoops of the buffalo chickpea mixture. Carefully use your hands to fold the sides in and then tightly roll the wrap up.
4. If desired, you can place the wrap seam side down in a hot pan to help seal everything in. Cut wrap in half and enjoy!

Recipe Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wraps vegan? They are vegan if you use a vegan buffalo sauce and ranch dressing.
• Can these wraps be made gluten free? You can make then gluten free by using gluten free tortillas. Gluten free tortillas don’t always fold very well, so make sure to warm them first so they don’t fall apart.
• Can these wraps be made ahead of time? These wraps can definitely be made ahead of time, although it’s best if it is just a few hours ahead of time, rather than days. However, the buffalo chickpea salad can be made up to 4 days in advance and wraps can be assembled daily.
• How should these wraps be stored? I like to wrap in tin foil or plastic wrap for storing.
