In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until chunky but not completely pureed.

How to Make Vegan Buffalo Chickpea Wraps (Overview)

Making these wraps is a breeze! Start by mashing the chickpeas—no need to get all fancy and smooth; a little texture adds character. Then, mix in a few flavorful ingredients that bring all the deliciousness. While you’re rolling up your wraps, think about how awesome they’ll look on Instagram! Don’t skip those veggies; they add great crunch and color, making every bite a delight. Pro tip: Let the fillings sit for a few minutes so they mingle and become best friends. 😉

How to Serve Vegan Buffalo Chickpea Wraps

Serve these wraps with a side of crispy sweet potato fries for a colorful plate. Drizzle a little extra buffalo sauce on top for good measure—who can resist that vibrant orange color? Add a side of pickles for a tangy crunch! The aroma from the spicy filling will have everyone gravitating toward the table, making your meal not just delicious but also a feast for the senses. Yum!

How to Store Vegan Buffalo Chickpea Wraps

These wraps keep well in the refrigerator, so you can enjoy leftovers up to three days after making them. Just make sure they’re wrapped tightly! If you want to pre-prep, assemble your wraps without the lettuce and avocado, keeping those fresh and crunchy. To reheat, simply microwave for a few seconds, or enjoy them cold straight from the fridge—perfect for a quick snack!

Tips to Make Vegan Buffalo Chickpea Wraps

For a fresher flavor, opt for lemon zest in addition to lemon juice.
Want a spicier kick? Add a dash of cayenne pepper to the mix.
If you’re feeling adventurous, swap out chickpeas for white beans or lentils for a different texture—yum!
For a more vibrant color, throw in chopped bell peppers or even shredded purple cabbage.

Variation

Change up the flavor profile by switching the buffalo sauce for BBQ sauce or a hummus spread. Feeling like a cold dish? Opt for a Mediterranean twist by adding olives and feta (vegan, of course), instead of the buffalo sauce.
