Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (400g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup buffalo-style hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup diced red onions
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free ranch or plain yogurt
  • Optional: sliced avocado, shredded carrots, cucumber strips

Instructions

  1. Place the drained chickpeas in a bowl. Mash them using a fork or potato masher until mostly broken down, leaving some texture.
  2. Add olive oil, buffalo-style hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the chickpeas are well coated.
  3. Rinse and shred the lettuce. Dice the tomatoes and onions. Prepare any optional vegetables you’re using.
  4. If desired, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds per side to make them pliable.
  5. Lay each tortilla flat. Spoon a portion of the chickpea mixture into the center.
  6. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and any optional add-ins like avocado or carrots.
  7. Drizzle with dairy-free ranch or yogurt for added creaminess.
  8. Fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling.
  9. Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for later.

Notes

This recipe is best enjoyed fresh but can be prepped in advance by storing components separately.

For less heat, reduce the buffalo sauce or mix it with a bit of yogurt before adding.

To add more crunch, include raw shredded cabbage or bell peppers.

Leftover chickpea filling can be used in salads, lettuce cups, or grain bowls.
