# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in 15 minutes with zero cooking, perfect for lunch prep or last-minute hunger emergencies.
  • The buffalo sauce transforms humble chickpeas into something unexpectedly craveable and bold.
  • Completely vegan and adaptable, which means everyone at the table can actually eat together.
02 -
  • Don't mash the chickpeas into oblivion—chunky is beautiful and what keeps this from becoming a hummus-like paste.
  • Layer your lettuce on the tortilla first as a moisture barrier so the wrap doesn't become soggy before you even take a bite.
03 -
  • Toast your tortillas briefly in a dry skillet before filling them—they become more pliable and develop a subtle warmth that improves the whole experience.
  • Keep all your ingredients cold until assembly so the wrap stays fresh and crisp rather than becoming warm and soggy.
