The ultimate vegan transformation: Dried chickpeas are crisped with garlic oil, roasted to perfection, then doused in tangy Buffalo sauce. Spicy, savory, and ready for wrapping.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • One 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo hot sauce (vegan certified)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
  • 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup finely diced celery and carrots
  • 1/4 cup vegan ranch or blue cheese dressing

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the dried chickpeas with the olive oil and garlic powder on a lined baking sheet, spreading them into a single layer.
  2. Step 2: Roast the seasoned chickpeas for 20-25 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and slightly crispy. Remove the chickpeas from the oven and transfer them to a medium mixing bowl.
  3. Step 3: Pour the 1/2 cup of Buffalo hot sauce over the warm, roasted chickpeas. Toss gently until all the chickpeas are evenly coated with the sauce.
  4. Step 4: Lightly warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side, or microwave them briefly to make them pliable. Lay the warmed tortillas flat on a clean surface.
  5. Step 5: To assemble the wraps, spread a line of vegan dressing down the center of each tortilla. Top the dressing with a layer of shredded lettuce and the diced celery/carrots, followed by 1/4 of the spicy Buffalo chickpeas. Roll the tortillas up tightly and serve immediately.

Notes

  • The secret to perfectly crisp Buffalo chickpeas is ensuring they are completely patted dry before roasting; this prevents steaming and guarantees a delightful texture when coated in the sauce later.
  • Keep the spicy Buffalo chickpea filling separate from the raw vegetables and tortillas; stored in airtight containers, the filling is excellent for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
  • If you refrigerate leftover Buffalo chickpeas, reheat them gently in a microwave for 30-45 seconds or briefly sauté them in a pan to restore their warmth and flavor before assembling a fresh wrap.
  • For an extra layer of crunch and zing, consider adding thinly sliced bread-and-butter pickles or serving the wraps alongside a small bowl of sweet potato fries.
