# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Ready in under 30 minutes which is a lifesaver when hunger hits hard and fast
- The combination of hot buffalo sauce and cool creamy dressing hits every single craving at once
02 -
- Do not skip warming your tortillas because cold tortillas crack and fall apart and nobody wants a wrap explosion all over their lap
- Mashing some of the chickpeas is the secret sauce because it creates a creamy binder that keeps all the filling from falling out when you take a bite
03 -
- Use cast iron if you have it because it gives the chickpeas the best crispy edges and creates those little stuck on bits that are actually the best part
- Let the chickpeas cool slightly before assembling so they do not make your vegetables wilt from the heat
