Ingredients

Scale

Chickpeas

  • 2 (15.5-oz.) cans chickpeas, drained, rinsed
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt, divided
  • 1 (1-oz.) packet ranch seasoning powder

Veggie Slaw

  • 1/4 head napa cabbage, shredded (about 3 cups)
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled, grated
  • 3 celery ribs, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp. thinly sliced chives or scallions
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing, plus more for serving
  • 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar

Buffalo Sauce

  • 6 tbsp. hot sauce
  • 2 tbsp. honey
  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted

Wraps and Toppings

  • 4 (10″) high-protein or regular tortilla wraps, warmed
  • 4 tbsp. crumbled blue cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chickpeas: In a large bowl, drizzle chickpeas with vegetable oil, then season with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Toss to evenly coat. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning powder over the chickpeas and toss again until well coated. Transfer the chickpeas to the air fryer basket, reserving the bowl for making the sauce later.
  2. Air-Fry Chickpeas: Cook chickpeas in the air fryer at 400°F (205°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping. The chickpeas should become crisp and slightly browned.
  3. Make Veggie Slaw: While chickpeas are frying, combine shredded napa cabbage, grated carrot, sliced celery, and chives in a large bowl. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Add 1/4 cup ranch dressing and apple cider vinegar, then toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
  4. Prepare Buffalo Sauce and Toss Chickpeas: In the reserved bowl, whisk together hot sauce, honey, and melted butter to create the buffalo sauce. Add the crispy air-fried chickpeas to this bowl and toss until thoroughly coated with the sauce.
  5. Assemble Wraps: Divide the buffalo chickpea mixture and the veggie slaw evenly among the warmed tortilla wraps. If using, sprinkle each with crumbled blue cheese. Fold in the left and right sides of each tortilla, then fold the end closest to you over the filling. Tightly roll up from the bottom toward the top, keeping the sides tucked in to form a burrito shape. Cut each wrap in half and serve with extra ranch dressing if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, shake the air fryer basket more frequently during cooking.
  • Adjust hot sauce quantity based on your preferred spice level.
  • Blue cheese is optional but adds a creamy, tangy contrast.
  • Use high-protein tortillas for added nutrition or regular tortillas for a traditional texture.
  • The wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be wrapped tightly in foil and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
