To begin creating your Crunchy Buffalo Chickpea Wraps, the first step is to prepare the chickpeas. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is ideal for roasting, ensuring that the chickpeas become perfectly crispy. While the oven is heating, rinse and drain one can (15 oz) of chickpeas thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels; this step is crucial because excess moisture can prevent them from getting crispy during the roasting process.

Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese or vegan cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Chickpeas: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Toss well to evenly coat the chickpeas.

    Roast the Chickpeas: Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden, stirring halfway through.

      Add Buffalo Flavor: Once the chickpeas are roasted, remove them from the oven and toss them with buffalo sauce until fully coated.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Place a handful of shredded lettuce in the center, followed by diced tomatoes, shredded carrots, and crispy buffalo chickpeas.

          Add Cheese (Optional): If desired, sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese or vegan cheese.

            Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a wrap.

              Serve: Slice in half diagonally, garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, and serve with extra buffalo sauce on the side for dipping.
