# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Ready in 15 minutes, no cooking required, perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.
  • The buffalo sauce and creamy mayo create that tangy-spicy-savory balance that makes you reach for another bite.
  • Incredibly forgiving—swap vegetables around based on what's in your crisper drawer.
02 -
  • Don't mash your chickpeas to death—you need that texture and movement in your mouth, not a dense, paste-like filling.
  • If your wraps split when rolling, your tortillas were too cold; let them sit out for a few minutes or warm them gently in a dry pan first.
03 -
  • Chill your chickpea mixture for 30 minutes before assembling if you have time—cold filling on cold lettuce creates a more satisfying bite.
  • Toast your tortillas lightly in a dry pan first; it makes them more pliable and adds a subtle warmth that brings out their flavor.
