Leave some whole for texture. This gives the wraps a nice bite. Next, add 1/4 cup of buffalo sauce to the mashed chickpeas. You can adjust this based on how spicy you like it. Mix in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir until everything is well combined. Make sure to taste it; adjust the sauce if you want more heat. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Take one tortilla and place it in the skillet. Warm it for about 30 seconds on each side.

This keeps all the tasty filling inside. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas. Enjoy your delicious Vegan Buffalo Chickpea Wraps!
