Tangy Buffalo Chickpea Chili - a quick and easy chili recipe with the flavors of everyone's favorite tangy hot sauce. Mildly spicy with a ton of flavor!
The tangy flavor of buffalo hot sauce has been a longtime standard in this kitchen. Especially when it comes to football season and game day food plans - I first made this recipe for our small Superbowl party earlier this year. I figured after making it a few more times, I should get around to sharing. This chili makes great leftovers, we like it over rice...
This Tangy Buffalo Chickpea Chili tastes great when topped with my Celery Ranch Dressing and a few avocado slices. The other day, rather than avocado topping the chili, the chili topped the avocado!

This looks awesome, Kristina. And obviously topping it with ranch is not optional - it's required.
