Buffalo Chickpea Wrap
Hot-sauce tossed roasted chickpeas with celery, romaine, and yogurt blue cheese in tortilla.
For 1 serving
Season and roast the chickpeas until crisp.
- Preheat your oven to 220C/425F.
- Toss the drained chickpeas with olive oil and garlic powder on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Roast for 18 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through for even browning.
TIPPat the chickpeas completely dry with a paper towel before roasting to ensure they get crunchy rather than steamed.Coat the roasted chickpeas in buffalo sauce.
Transfer the hot, roasted chickpeas to a medium mixing bowl. Pour the hot pepper sauce over them and toss thoroughly until every chickpea is well-coated and the sauce has slightly thickened from the heat.
Prepare the creamy blue cheese dressing.
In a small bowl, use a fork to mash the blue cheese crumbles into the nonfat Greek yogurt and lemon juice. Continue mixing until the dressing is creamy but still retains small chunks of cheese for texture.
TIPAdd a teaspoon of water if the dressing is too thick to drizzle.Layer the ingredients and roll the wrap.
- Lay the whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Layer the center with romaine lettuce, diced celery, shredded carrots, and the buffalo chickpeas.
- Drizzle with the yogurt blue cheese dressing and roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides.
