Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced fresh tomatoes

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese or a dairy-free cheese alternative (optional)

1/4 cup ranch dressing or vegan ranch dressing

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to lightly mash the drained chickpeas. Aim to leave some whole for added texture in the filling.

    Season the Mixture: Add the hot sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Stir everything together until it's thoroughly blended. Feel free to adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your heat preference.

      Heat the Filling: Set a skillet over medium heat and pour in the seasoned chickpea mixture. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and starts to sizzle.

        Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet or directly on the stovetop, warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until they're pliable and easy to fold.

          Assemble the Wraps: Place each warm tortilla on a flat surface. Begin by spreading an even layer of shredded lettuce. Next, add a generous portion of the heated buffalo chickpea mixture, followed by diced tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese if desired.

            Drizzle with Dressing: Carefully drizzle ranch dressing over the ingredients on each tortilla for an extra layer of flavor.

              Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla tightly, then roll it from the bottom up. Make sure to wrap it securely so that all the delicious fillings stay inside.

                Serve and Enjoy: Slice each wrap in half diagonally. If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Enjoy your spicy buffalo chickpea wraps while they're still warm for the best flavor!
