I’m one of those people who doesn’t always mind buff-ifying things. Obviously chicken is the best, but buffalo cauliflower or Brussels sprouts are also great. I’ve now taken chickpeas buffalo so we can get a more protein-packed version of the fave flavor.

Take a can of chickpeas (rinsed) and mash them with buffalo sauce and maybe a little Greek yogurt or sour cream. I like leaving the mash a little chunky since it’s going to be the star ingredient/protein of this sandwich, which means it needs some texture. Pile it into a tortilla (I had the small ones handy, but this would be best burrito sized) and top with crumbled blue cheese, sliced bell peppers, and a bunch of lettuce (go heavier than I did with the lettuce – the crunch is great).


Vegetarians, rejoice! This is a very simple, very filling, lunch option that doesn’t feel like you’re just eating a salad or plate of leftover veggies. I typically like a meat sandwich, but this satisfied me and is great when you run out of deli meat but can always have a shelf-stable can of chickpeas in the pantry.
