Ingredients

For buffalo chickpea sauce:

  • 1.5 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 large yellow onion chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 green bell peppers chopped
  • 2 cans chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce passata
  • 3 tbsp hot sauce or more to taste
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened plant milk
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 16 corn tortillas

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 410 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicone liner.
  • Mash the chickpeas in a bowl with a fork. Set aside.
  • Saute chopped onion and bell pepper in a hot skillet over medium heat. Cook for 3 minutes, then add garlic and spice mix and sauté for a further minute.
  • Add all other sauce ingredients to the pan and bring the mixture to a boil. Let simmer on low heat for about 2-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat.
  • Place about 2 tbsp of the filling onto each tortilla and roll them up tightly. Place every tortilla seam-side down on the baking sheet, next to each other.
  • Optionally, brush them with a little bit of vegetable oil (to make them even more crispy).
  • Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Serve hot.
