Remember that time my friend Maria dragged me on this 'easy' hike? Let me tell you, 'easy' was a blatant lie. By the time we reached the halfway point, I was starving and regretting every life choice that led me to that mountain. Thankfully, Maria, the ever-prepared one, pulled out these AMAZING buffalo chickpea wraps. Seriously, that first bite? Pure bliss. It was so good, it kinda made the whole ordeal worth it—almost. I was so happy she shared them with me as I am super forgetful to bring snakcs. So, of course, I had to recreate them, and now I'm sharing the recipe with you! What does this mean for you? No more sad desk lunches or boring trail snacks!
What I really love about these wraps is how customizable they are. Don't like too much heat? Dial down the buffalo sauce. Craving extra crunch? Throw in some shredded carrots or celery. Wanna get really crazy? Add a sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles (if you're not keeping things vegan, of course!). I also enjoy them because chickpeas are cheap and easy to find. Feel free to use whatever kind of tortilla you prefer, but I really love using the spinach tortillas because they look great!
Plus, they're seriously easy to make. We're talking minimal cooking, maximum flavor. It's just throwing some ingredients together and mixing! Perfect for those nights when you're craving something delicious but don't want to spend hours slaving away in the kitchen. One quick suggestion is to let the chickpeas sit for at least 15 minutes after they are mixed up to really let the flavors meld together!
These Basecamp Buffalo Chickpea Wraps are a flavor-packed, plant-based delight perfect for a quick lunch, hiking snack, or easy dinner. Bursting with spicy buffalo flavor, creamy avocado, and crisp veggies, these wraps are sure to become a new favorite!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
First, drain and rinse your chickpeas. Nobody wants that weird chickpea juice tainting their wrap!
In a medium bowl, mash about half of the chickpeas with a fork. Leaving some whole chickpeas adds a nice texture—it's all about that mouthfeel, you know?
Add the buffalo sauce, vegan mayo (or regular mayo if you're not vegan), diced celery, and garlic powder to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. More buffalo sauce for extra kick? Go for it!
Now, let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes. I know, patience is a virtue, but trust me, the flavors meld together beautifully during this time. You can skip it but i would not suggest you to!
While the chickpea mixture is doing its thing, prepare your wraps. Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface.
Spread a layer of mashed avocado on each tortilla. This adds creaminess and healthy fats. Plus, who doesn't love avocado?
Top with shredded lettuce or spinach. Fresh greens add a nice crunch and some extra nutrients. Its like a salad within a wrap!
Spoon the buffalo chickpea mixture onto the lettuce. Don't overfill the wraps, or you'll end up with a messy situation. (Unless you like messy situations, no judgement here!).
Now, fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Think burrito-style, but with more finesse!
Cut the wraps in half (optional, but it makes them easier to eat) and serve immediately. Or, wrap them individually and pack them for lunch or a hike. You can also wrap them to keep them fresh for a day or so if you really want to do some food prep. Enjoy!
📝 Notes
For extra flavor, toast the tortillas lightly before adding the fillings.
