Vegan Chipotle Chickpeas

Chickpea Tacos

  • 4 medium whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 cup sliced radishes
  • 1/2 cup vegan crumbled cheese cotija or feta for vegetarian version
  • 1 medium lime, sliced or quartered

Instructions

Cooking The Chipotle Chickpeas

  • Heat up the avocado oil over medium-high heat in a pan or skillet.
  • Add the chopped red onion and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until soft.
  • While the onions are cooking, mix together the chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the drained chickpeas to the pan and mix into the onions.
  • Pour the chipotle seasoning into the pan and mix until the chickpeas are evenly coated.
  • Whisk together the minced garlic, tomato sauce, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Pour into the pan and stir.
  • Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
  • Lower the heat and keep warm until ready to serve.

Making The Chickpea Tacos

  • While the chickpeas are cooking, heat up the tortillas directly on a gas burner or in a pan.
  • Layer each tortilla with fresh cilantro leaves, chipotle chickpeas, sliced radishes, vegan crumbled cheese, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • To tone down the spicy level, simply swap out some or all of the chipotle chili powder for ancho chili powder or regular chili powder.
