Ingredients
- 12 corn tortillas warmed
- 30 oz chickpeas two 15-oz cans, drained and rinsed
- ½ yellow onion diced
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tsp lime juice
- 1 tsp pure maple syrup
- 1-2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 avocado diced
Suggested Toppings
- pico de gallo
- shredded lettuce
- non-dairy sour cream optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine drained chickpeas, diced onion, avocado oil, lime juice, maple syrup, and taco seasoning. Toss until well-coated. Spread in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and slightly crisp.
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking, warm tortillas over a burner, in a frying pan or in the microwave.
- Mash avocado onto the middle of each tortilla and spoon the chickpea mixture on top. This will help the chickpeas not "roll away."
- Add desired toppings and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can also serve on a bed of lettuce if you're not a fan of tortillas.
- To make this recipe spicy, add some cayenne into the taco seasoning mix.
- Swap maple syrup with the sweetener of your choice (you only need a little).
