Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the chickpeas, leaving some chunks for texture.
  2. Add vegan mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, Buffalo hot sauce, lemon juice, celery, grated carrot, red onion, parsley, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the chickpeas and stir until thoroughly combined.
Assembly
  1. Arrange tortillas flat on a clean surface.
  2. Evenly distribute shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cheese (if using) onto each wrap.
  3. Spoon the Buffalo chickpea salad evenly over the fillings on each tortilla.
  4. Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired.
  5. Tightly roll each tortilla by folding in the sides and rolling from the bottom up.
  6. Slice each wrap in half for serving, or wrap in foil for an on-the-go meal. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.

Notes

For best results, store the filling separately from the tortillas and fresh veggies if making ahead. Assembly just before eating prevents sogginess. Refrigerate the filling for up to 3-4 days.
