Buffalo Chickpea Lettuce Cups

I've brought these chickpea lettuce wraps to a party or two, and guests have raved about the simplicity of the dish, and of course, the Buffalo flavors are on par with party food. Other times, I'd use this mixture inside taco shells for a quick family dinner because everything is better inside a taco, right?

I love tacos so much, I pulled together 52 of my favorite recipes, plus drizzles and salsas, and put them all in the Taco Tuesday Cookbook. It's your ultimate guide to the best tacos ever!

Ingredients

These wraps are easy to prepare with just a few pantry and fridge essentials. Chickpeas are the star of the lettuce wraps. I make them tastier by adding onion, Buffalo sauce, and Ranch dressing. While any lettuce works for serving, I prefer butter lettuce or Boston Bibb since they hold the filling better.

How to Make Them

If making your own Ranch dressing, start combining the ingredients in a bowl. Then, grab a skillet to cook onions and chickpeas with the Buffalo sauce. In 10 minutes, the filling is ready to serve in lettuce cups or tortillas. Oh! And sip a Diet Batanga for extra fun!
