This week, the humble chickpea is transformed into a bold and hearty vegan dinner idea sure to evoke the zestiest of game days—in just 10 minutes! Mashed chickpeas are combined with vegan mayo, zippy scallions, and Frank’s Seasoning and Hot Sauce for a hot-and-spicy filling with a perfectly creamy texture (hello, Buffalo!). It’s loaded onto crisp toasted sourdough and topped with a heap of crisp dressed greens. Crunchy blue corn chips and any extra salad come along for this dinner ride.

• Wash and dry produce. • Drain and rinse chickpeas; pat dry with paper towels. Trim and thinly slice scallion greens (save whites for another use). Trim root end from lettuce; roughly chop. • Toast bread until golden.
• Place chickpeas in a medium bowl; mash with the back of a fork until about half the chickpeas are smooth (leave some larger chickpea pieces for texture-packed bites!). Stir in scallion greens, mayonnaise, Frank’s Seasoning Blend, and Frank’s hot sauce until combined. (Use less Frank’s Seasoning Blend and hot sauce if you prefer less heat!)
• In a large bowl, combine half the vinegar (all for 4 servings), a large drizzle of olive oil, and a big pinch of sugar (we used ½ tsp; 1 tsp for 4). • Add lettuce and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.
• Divide chickpea filling between half the toasted bread slices; top each with a handful of green salad. Close sandwiches; halve crosswise. • Divide sandwiches between plates. Serve with tortilla chips and remaining green salad on the side.
