Equipment

  • Medium Bowl
  • Fork or potato masher

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, add the rinsed and drained chickpeas. Using a fork or a potato masher, gently mash about three-quarters of the chickpeas. Leave some whole for texture.

  2. To the mashed chickpeas, add the buffalo sauce, vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well until everything is thoroughly combined and the chickpeas are evenly coated.

  3. Taste the chickpea mixture and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Remember that buffalo sauce can be quite salty, so adjust accordingly.

  4. For softer, more pliable tortillas, you can warm them slightly. You can do this by placing them on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 20-30 seconds.

  5. Lay one tortilla flat. Spoon a generous portion of the spicy buffalo chickpea mixture onto the center of the tortilla.

  7. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then tightly roll the tortilla from the bottom up to create a secure wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
