Vegan Buffalo Chickpea Wraps (Printable Version)

Spicy vegan wraps with buffalo chickpea salad, fresh veggies, and creamy sauce in a soft tortilla.

# What You’ll Need:

→ 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

# Method:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, mash the drained chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until chunky but not completely pureed, maintaining texture throughout.
02 - Add vegan mayonnaise, buffalo hot sauce, lemon juice, celery, carrot, and red onion to the mashed chickpeas. Stir until well incorporated. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
03 - Lay out all four tortillas on a clean work surface. Divide the shredded romaine lettuce, cucumber slices, and avocado slices evenly among each tortilla.
04 - Top each wrap with a generous portion of the buffalo chickpea salad mixture, distributing evenly across the lettuce and vegetable base.
05 - Fold in the left and right sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom upward to completely enclose all filling and create a compact wrap.
06 - Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately. Alternatively, wrap individually in parchment paper for portability and consume within a few hours.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Ready in just 15 minutes with minimal prep
  • Perfectly balanced spicy, tangy, and creamy flavors
  • Protein-packed and satisfying without any animal products
  • Easily customizable to suit your heat preference
  • Great for meal prep - make the filling ahead for quick assembly
02 -
  • For the creamiest texture, make sure your chickpeas are well-drained and patted dry before mashing
  • Let the buffalo chickpea mixture sit for 10-15 minutes before assembling wraps to allow flavors to meld
  • Warm your tortillas slightly before filling to make them more pliable and less likely to tear
  • If making ahead for meal prep, store the filling and vegetables separately from the tortillas and assemble just before eating
  • For a lower-carb option, serve the buffalo chickpea salad in lettuce cups instead of tortillas
