A quick, spicy wrap with mashed chickpeas, fresh veggies, and creamy buffalo sauce in a soft tortilla.

# Components:

→ Chickpea Salad

01 - 2 cups cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
02 - 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
03 - 2 tablespoons vegan buffalo hot sauce
04 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
05 - 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
06 - 1 small carrot, grated
07 - 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
08 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Wraps and Assembly

09 - 4 large flour tortillas
10 - 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
11 - 1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
12 - 1/2 avocado, sliced

# Directions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, mash the drained chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until the texture is chunky but not completely pureed.
02 - Add vegan mayonnaise, buffalo hot sauce, lemon juice, chopped celery, grated carrot, and diced red onion to the mashed chickpeas. Stir until evenly combined and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
03 - Lay out the tortillas on a clean work surface. Divide the shredded romaine lettuce, cucumber slices, and avocado slices evenly among all four wraps.
04 - Top each tortilla with a generous portion of the prepared buffalo chickpea salad, distributing it evenly across the vegetables.
05 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly from bottom to top, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed and the wrap maintains its shape.
06 - Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap individually in parchment paper for convenient transport.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in 15 minutes with zero cooking, perfect for those days when you need something that tastes intentional but doesn't require much effort.
  • That buffalo kick gives you something spicy and bold that actually satisfies, none of that sad desk lunch energy.
  • You can customize it endlessly—add pickled jalapeños, swap in your favorite hot sauce, throw in avocado when you're feeling fancy.
02 -
  • Don't skip rinsing the canned chickpeas—I learned this the hard way, and the starch made everything gluey and unappetizing instead of creamy and chunky.
  • Mashing them by hand matters more than you'd think because a food processor will turn them into hummus, and that's a completely different vibe from what you're going for here.
03 -
  • Chill the chickpea mixture for 10 minutes before assembling if you have time—it holds together better and tastes more cohesive.
  • Toast your tortillas for 30 seconds on a dry pan before filling them, and they'll be way more pliable and will hold everything better.
