Buffalo Chickpea Pinwheel
As demonstrated in the “Food, Family, Football” episode of Live It – October 2017
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans) or about 2 cans drained and rinsed
- ½ cup crumbled or shredded cheese of choice (e.g. blue, feta, Monterey Jack, cheddar)
- ½ cup Buffalo sauce (or less to taste)
- 3 green onions, finely chopped
- ½ cup finely chopped celery or radish
- 3 10″ tortillas
Instructions
- Place chickpeas, ¼ cup cheese and buffalo sauce into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until desired consistency is reached. The mixture may be left a little chunky or processed until very smooth like hummus. Alternately, the ingredients may be mashed in a bowl with a potato masher.
- Add contents of the food processor to a large mixing bowl. Add remaining ¼ cup of cheese, green onion and celery/radish. Stir to combine.
- Lay the tortillas out on a clean, flat work surface. Divide the mixture evenly among the 3 tortillas. Spread the mixture out to cover the entire tortilla.
- Gently roll the tortillas up as tightly as possible.
- For best results, refrigerate the rolled tortillas for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Carefully slice the tortillas to desired thickness using a serrated knife. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
