Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

4 large whole-wheat tortillas or wraps

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

1/2 cup sliced celery

1/2 cup shredded carrots

Fresh lettuce leaves (optional)

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a medium bowl, mash the drained chickpeas with a fork until chunky, leaving some whole for texture.

    Season the Mixture: Add the buffalo sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix well until combined.

      Heat the Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, add the chickpea mixture and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly thickened.

        Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet or on a clean surface, lightly toast the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they’re warm and pliable.

          Assemble the Wraps: Lay a warm tortilla flat and add 1/4 of the chickpea mixture in the center. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, sliced celery, shredded carrots, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.

            Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll from the bottom up to create a tight wrap. Repeat for the remaining tortillas and filling.

              Sear the Wraps (optional): For added crispiness, place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

                Serve: Slice the wraps in half, garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, and serve with extra buffalo sauce or yogurt on the side if desired.
