1/2 cup onion, minced

1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup Buffalo sauce

1 head butter lettuce, washed and leaves separated

1 small avocado, chopped

1 large tomato, chopped

1/2 cup cucumber, chopped

Ranch Dressing:

½ cup mayo (use vegan version if needed)

handful parsley, finely chopped

1 tsp. dried dill

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium skillet pan, cook the onion in 1 tsp. olive oil over medium-high heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the chickpeas and cook until toasted, another 2-3 minutes. Stir in the buffalo sauce and reduce heat to low. Simmer while you make the dressing. Turn off heat and let cool slightly.

Assemble the wraps! Place a heaping tablespoon or two of the chickpeas on each piece of lettuce. Top with avocados, tomatoes and cucumber. Drizzle with ranch dressing.
