Ingredients

1/3 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

1 1/2 – 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Juice of 1 small lemon (~2 tablespoons)

1–2 tablespoons hot water (to thin)

1 head romaine lettuce, chopped (or 1 bundle kale, stems removed)

1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed, drained, and dried (~1 1/4 cups)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (or grapeseed/olive oil)

4 tablespoons hot sauce, divided

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 minced garlic clove)

1 pinch sea salt

3–4 vegan flour tortillas, pita, or flatbread

1/4 cup red onion, diced (optional)

1/4 cup baby tomato, diced (optional)

1/4 ripe avocado, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together hummus, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Add hot water until smooth and pourable. Toss with romaine or kale and set aside.
  2. In another bowl, combine chickpeas with coconut oil, 3 tablespoons hot sauce, garlic powder, and salt. Toss to coat.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook chickpeas for 3–5 minutes, lightly mashing a few for texture.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon hot sauce.
  5. Assemble wraps by layering tortillas with dressed salad, buffalo chickpeas, and toppings like avocado, onion, or tomato.
  6. Wrap tightly and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Swap romaine for spinach or mixed greens.
  • Use vegan ranch instead of hummus for a creamier dressing.
  • Add shredded carrots or cucumber for crunch.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free version.
  • For added protein, include baked tofu or tempeh.
