You know me—I'm all about a good Buffalo chicken wrap or a chip loaded with melty Buffalo chicken dip. You simply can't go wrong with the classics (even Buffalo chicken meatballs). But it's always fun to shake things up with something a little different, and bonus points if it's vegetarian, too! That's where these Buffalo chickpea sandwiches come in. Don't let the lack of meat fool you: They're every bit as satisfying as the original versions. The chickpeas are mashed just enough to stay chunky, then tossed with the essentials: Buffalo-style hot sauce, creamy blue cheese, crunchy celery, and tangy dill pickles. Whether you're hosting a game day crowd or whipping up lunch on a Tuesday, these hearty sandwiches are guaranteed to hit the spot. Trust me, you won't even miss the chicken!
