Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Um eine perfekte Textur zu erzielen, achten Sie darauf, die Kichererbsen nur grob zu zerdrücken - sie sollten noch etwas Biss haben. Die Mischung kann bis zu 3 Tagen im Kühlschrank aufbewahrt werden, was diese Wraps ideal für die Vorbereitung macht. Wenn Sie die Wraps für später vorbereiten, bewahren Sie die Füllung getrennt von den Tortillas auf und bauen Sie sie erst kurz vor dem Servieren zusammen, um ein Durchweichen zu vermeiden.

Varianten und Anpassungen
Für eine glutenfreie Option verwenden Sie glutenfreie Wraps oder Tortillas. Die Schärfe kann leicht angepasst werden - verwenden Sie mehr Buffalo-Sauce für einen intensiveren Geschmack oder ersetzen Sie sie durch eine mildere Sauce, wenn Sie es weniger scharf mögen. Fügen Sie gehackte Paprika oder geraspelten Rotkohl hinzu, um zusätzliche Textur und Nährstoffe zu erhalten. Für mehr Protein können Sie auch etwas zerbröckelten veganen Feta oder Tofu in die Mischung geben.
Serviervorschläge
Diese Buffalo Chickpea Wraps sind ein vollständiges Gericht, das aber wunderbar mit Beilagen wie einem einfachen Salat, gebackenen Süßkartoffelsticks oder einer frischen Gemüseplatte ergänzt werden kann. Servieren Sie sie mit einem Dip aus veganem Ranch- oder Blauschimmelkäse-Dressing zum Eintauchen. Für ein Buffet können Sie die Wraps in kleinere Stücke schneiden und mit Zahnstochern fixieren, um hübsche Appetithäppchen zu kreieren.
