Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust based on your spice preference)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional, for a tangy addition)

1 cup shredded lettuce (for freshness)

1/2 cup diced tomatoes (for juiciness)

1/4 cup diced red onion (for crunch and flavor)

4 large whole grain or spinach tortillas (for wrapping)

1/2 cup ranch or vegan dressing (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Preparation of Chickpeas: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spread out the drained and rinsed chickpeas. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle on the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chickpeas gently with your hands or a spatula until they are evenly coated with the spices and oil.

    Roasting Chickpeas: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for 20-25 minutes. Make sure to stir them halfway through the roasting time to promote even cooking. They should emerge from the oven golden brown and crunchy.

      Buffalo Sauce Coating: Once the chickpeas are roasted, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm roasted chickpeas with the buffalo sauce. Gently toss them until every chickpea is well coated with the spicy sauce.

        Assembling the Wraps: On a clean, flat surface, lay out your tortillas. Begin by adding a generous heap of shredded lettuce to the center of each tortilla, followed by an equal distribution of diced tomatoes, red onion, and the spicy buffalo chickpeas.

          Adding Cheese & Dressing: If desired, sprinkle some crumbled blue cheese over the fillings for a creamy, tangy contrast. Drizzle your preferred ranch dressing over the top to enhance the flavor.

            Wrapping it Up: To wrap the tortillas, fold the sides inward, then roll them tightly from the bottom up to encase the filling securely. Use a toothpick if needed to hold the wrap together.

              Serving: If desired, cut the wraps in half for easier handling and serve immediately. For an extra kick, offer additional buffalo sauce or ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
