Chickpea Tacos

We love these chickpea tacos! And best of all you can add any of your favourite additional Mexican ingredients.

Serves

3

Ingredients

  • 6-8 whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 tin corn
  • Large tomato
  • 1/4 red onion
  • 1 avocado
  • Lime
  • Salt and pepper
  • Coriander
  • Small tin of jalapeños

Chickpeas

  • 1 large tin chickpeas
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method

Drain and dry chickpeas, combine with spice ingredients and set aside.

Make tomato salsa by dicing tomato, red onion and coriander – season with salt and pepper as well as a big squeeze of lime juice and set aside.

Mash avocado with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lime and also set aside.

Drain corn and place in a bowl. Set aside.

Heat in a large thick based pan the oil and once hot, add the chickpeas. Makes sure they are all touching the bottom and leave for a few minutes to cook. Stir and ensure all chickpeas are again touch the bottom and leave again for a few minutes for the peas to get some colour on them. Do this for about 10 minutes.

While the chickpeas are cooking, in a seperate un-oiled pan, cook the tortillas until lightly golden and put on a seperate plate.

To serve – get a tortilla, add a generous helping of avocado, sprinkle corn and a dollop of tomato mix. Finally top with the delicious chickpeas and a few spicy jalapeños!

Note

This recipe can be customised – don’t have corn? No worries. Left over cabbage in the fridge – perfect, thinly slice on top (like I have done in the pic!) Like beans? Add some on… it’s very flexible and best of all delicious!
