Spicy plant-based wraps with mashed chickpeas and buffalo sauce. Ready in 15 minutes.

# What You 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 & Assembly

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

# Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until chunky but retaining some texture, avoiding a pureed consistency.
02 - Add vegan mayonnaise, buffalo hot sauce, lemon juice, celery, carrot, and red onion to the mashed chickpeas. Stir until well combined and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
03 - Lay out the tortillas and evenly divide the shredded lettuce, cucumber slices, and avocado among the wraps.
04 - Top each wrap with a generous scoop of buffalo chickpea salad, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly to enclose the filling.
05 - Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper for transport.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's ready faster than you can decide what to eat, which means no more scrolling through delivery apps at dinner time.
  • The buffalo kick is genuinely satisfying—spicy enough to feel special but balanced with creaminess so it doesn't wreck your mouth.
  • You probably have most of these ingredients already lurking in your kitchen, making it a rescue meal for unprepared weeknights.
02 -
  • The lettuce layer underneath everything is non-negotiable if you don't want your tortilla getting soggy and falling apart before you eat it.
  • If you mash the chickpeas too much or don't drain them well enough, the whole wrap becomes a wet, falling-apart mess instead of something you can actually pick up and eat.
03 -
  • Prep all your vegetables the night before so assembly takes literally five minutes when hunger hits.
  • Don't warm the tortillas unless you're eating immediately—cold ones are actually easier to roll without tearing because they're more flexible.
