Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/3 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

4 large whole wheat tortillas or wraps (spinach or garlic herb for extra flavor)

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 medium cucumber, diced

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese or vegan cheese (optional)

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the seasonings.

    Bake the Chickpeas: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the seasoned chickpeas onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown, tossing halfway through for even cooking.

      Buffalo Sauce Coating: Once the chickpeas are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the buffalo sauce over them, ensuring they're well coated. If you prefer extra heat, add a touch more buffalo sauce.

        Assemble the Wraps: Take a tortilla/wrap and place a handful of shredded lettuce in the center, followed by a generous portion of the buffalo chickpeas. Top with diced cucumber, tomatoes, and blue cheese if using.

          Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll from the bottom up, ensuring the filling is tightly wrapped inside. Repeat this for the remaining tortillas.

            Serve: Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley. These wraps are wonderful with a side of extra buffalo sauce for dipping!
