Description
Get ready to experience a flavor explosion in every bite with these mouthwatering Spicy Buffalo Chickpea Wraps! Packed with crispy, zesty chickpeas, fresh veggies, and a creamy dressing, these wraps are a delightful vegetarian and vegan-friendly alternative to traditional buffalo chicken.
Ingredients
- Chickpeas: The protein-packed foundation of the dish, providing a meaty texture and nutrient-dense base.
- Hot Sauce: The secret to achieving that iconic buffalo flavor. Frank’s RedHot or a similar spicy sauce works best.
- Spices and Seasonings: Garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder add depth and complexity to the chickpeas.
- Tortillas: Whole wheat or spinach tortillas provide the perfect wrap for the filling.
- Fresh Veggies: Shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and optional crumbled feta or dairy-free cheese add texture and freshness.
- Dressing: Ranch or vegan ranch dressing helps to cool the heat and tie all the flavors together.
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, toss the drained and rinsed chickpeas with the hot sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper until they’re evenly coated.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned chickpeas. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are slightly crispy and heated through.
3. Lay the tortillas flat and spread the shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes evenly across each one. Top with the cooked chickpeas, crumbled feta or dairy-free cheese (if using), and a drizzle of ranch or vegan ranch dressing.
4. Tightly roll up the tortillas into wraps, slice in half, and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired. Serve immediately for maximum flavor and texture.
Notes
These wraps can be customized easily to suit vegan and vegetarian diets. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas or lettuce leaves instead of traditional wraps.
