- Fold in the left and right sides to fan out the tortilla.

Serving suggestions
Since this buffalo chickpea wrap is so quick and easy to make, it's great for lunch or dinner!
I like to serve one wrap as a lunch or dinner main with some chips or fries, fruit, or more veggies. One wrap definitely fills me up, but you can add any side you'd like to make it a full meal.
These wraps make the perfect make ahead lunch to take to work! Just wrap your spicy chickpea wrap in foil and store in the refrigerator until ready to eat for lunch.
Pro tip: to keep the tortilla from getting soggy, place a layer of large lettuce leaves over the tortilla before adding the filling!

Recipe tips and substitutions
- Make sure to finely dice the veggies so that are a good size for rolling into a wrap.
- You'll want very large tortillas for these. I use 10" tortillas.
- You can heat the tortilla before making your wrap if you'd like it to be more pliable.
- Want it spicier? Add more buffalo sauce! Or dip your spicy chickpea wrap into some while eating.
- You can swap the tortilla for collard greens and make a collard wrap. Or use Boston lettuce leaves and make lettuce cups!
- Don't fill the tortillas too full or the tortilla will rip.
- Don't like ranch? go ahead swap for your favorite creamy dressing.
- If you're a cheese lover (like me), add some shredded cheddar cheese or blue cheese crumbles.

Storing and freezing
Storing: store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you are storing wraps that are already wrapped, the tortilla may get soggy in the fridge. I recommend storing the filling, veggies, ranch, and tortillas separately.
Freezing: I don't recommend freezing any of the ingredients in this recipe. The wraps will get soggy if they are frozen, and the veggies won't freeze well.
FAQs
Just use your favorite vegan ranch or creamy dressing! I use Frank's buffalo wing sauce, which is vegan.
The recipe is gluten free with the exception of the tortilla. Swap for your favorite gluten free tortilla or use collard greens as a wrap.

Recipe
Quick buffalo chickpea wraps
Ingredients
- 1 15 ounce can chickpeas
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce
- 4 10 inch flour tortillas
- 1 cup packed shredded lettuce or cabbage
- 1 cup finely diced celery
- 1 cup finely diced cucumber
- 1 cup finely diced tomato
- ¼ cup ranch dressing
- salt and pepper
- extra buffalo sauce and ranch if desired
Instructions
- Rinse and drain the can of chickpeas. Lay them on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and pat them dry.
- Place the chickpeas in a medium sized bowl and stir them together with the buffalo sauce.
- Lay a tortilla on a flat surface and place ⅓ cup of the chickpea mixture off to one side of the tortilla (see photos).
- Top the chickpeas with ¼ cup each of the lettuce, celery, cucumber, and tomato, again keeping the ingredients off to one side of the tortilla.
- Drizzle a bit of ranch dressing (and extra buffalo sauce if you'd like) over the mixture and top with a small pinch each of salt and pepper.
- To roll the tortilla into a wrap, first make sure the side with the mixture is closest to you. Fold in the left and right sides closest to you over the mixture and then lift up the bottom with your thumbs and roll it up, using all your fingers to tuck the tortilla into the filling. Using both of our pinky fingers, fold in the left and right sides even more, tuck them under the roll a bit and then roll the wrap the rest of the way. (see photos)
- Repeat with the remaining 3 tortillas and remaining ingredients.
- Serve with extra ranch dressing and buffalo sauce if desired. Enjoy!
