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

13 - 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced

# Directions:

01 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add drained chickpeas and sauté for 2–3 minutes until lightly heated through.
02 - Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over chickpeas. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes until fragrant and evenly coated.
03 - Pour buffalo hot sauce over seasoned chickpeas and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently. Lightly mash some chickpeas with the back of your spoon to create a creamy, textured filling. Remove from heat.
04 - Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or microwave for 15–20 seconds until warm and pliable.
05 - Spread 2 tablespoons of dressing down the center of each warmed tortilla. Layer with one-quarter of buffalo chickpea mixture, shredded lettuce, julienned carrot, sliced celery, and red onion.
06 - Fold in both sides of tortilla, then roll tightly from bottom to top to enclose filling. Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Its ready in under 30 minutes but tastes like something youd order at a cafe
  • The spicy, creamy, crisp combo hits every craving at once
02 -
  • Over-mashing the chickpeas makes them too pasty, aim for a rough texture
  • Let the chickpea mixture cool slightly before assembling, otherwise your tortilla gets soggy fast
03 -
  • Pat your chickpeas dry with a towel before cooking for better crisping
  • Let the wraps sit for 2 minutes after rolling before slicing, they hold together better
