This helps remove extra sodium. In a large bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the chickpeas. You want a chunky texture, not smooth. This gives the wraps a nice bite. Aim for about 10-12 mashes. The chickpeas should look a bit broken, but still have some whole pieces. Next, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up. Once hot, add the mashed chickpeas to the skillet. Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to mix everything. Let it cook for about 5 minutes. This warms the chickpeas through. Then, pour in the buffalo sauce. Stir to coat the chickpeas evenly. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes. The mixture should be hot and flavorful. Remove the skillet from heat. Now it’s time to build your wraps. Lay the wraps flat on a clean surface. Spoon a good amount of the buffalo chickpea mixture into the center. Be generous; you want each bite to be tasty. Next, layer on the chopped lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and creamy avocado. If you like, drizzle some vegan ranch dressing on top for extra flavor. To roll the wraps, fold in the sides. Then, roll them tightly from the bottom up. Slice each wrap in half diagonally for a nice look. You can find the Full Recipe for these delicious wraps above. To mash chickpeas well, start with a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas.

Fold the sides in first, then roll from the bottom. Tuck the filling as you roll. This keeps everything inside. If it’s too full, it may burst.

Each protein brings a unique flavor and texture to your wrap. Buffalo sauce is a classic, but feel free to explore other sauces. A tangy BBQ sauce can give a smoky flavor. If you enjoy heat, try a spicy sriracha sauce. A creamy tahini dressing can add a nutty twist. Just remember, the sauce can change the whole wrap experience. Adding more veggies can boost the flavor and nutrition. Try adding cucumber for a refreshing crunch. Bell peppers can also provide sweetness and color.

Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust based on your spice preference)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

4 large whole grain wraps or tortillas

1 cup fresh leafy lettuce, chopped

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced for a mild crunch

1/2 avocado, sliced for creaminess

1/4 cup vegan ranch dressing (optional for a creamy contrast)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the chickpeas. Aim for a texture that is slightly chunky to provide a good bite, without turning them completely smooth.

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, carefully add the mashed chickpeas to the skillet.

      Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture well and let it cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until the chickpeas are heated thoroughly.

        Pour in the buffalo sauce, stirring well to coat the chickpeas evenly. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined and heated through. Afterward, remove the skillet from heat.

          Place the wraps or tortillas flat on a clean surface, arranging them so they are easy to fill. Spoon a generous portion of the buffalo chickpea mixture into the center of each wrap, ensuring enough for a satisfying bite.

            Layer the wrap with chopped lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and creamy avocado slices.

              If desired, drizzle vegan ranch dressing over the top to add a deliciously creamy element to each wrap.

                To roll the wraps, fold in the sides and then roll from the bottom up tightly, ensuring the filling stays securely inside.

                  For presentation, slice the wraps in half diagonally, exposing the vibrant fresh ingredients inside.
