Chickpea Tacos


I absolutely love tacos, but I have been trying to incorporate more veggies into my diet. This past week I tried a new recipe for tacos, chickpea ones. I also made a homemade tzatziki sauce to go with it.

  • Ingredients
    • A can of garbanzo bean/chickpeas
    • An avocado
    • One or two roma tomatoes
    • A green pepper
    • A red onion
    • An English cucumber
    • 5.3 oz of unsweetened So Delicious coconut yogurt
    • 1 tbsp of Cumin
    • 1 tsp of Garlic powder
    • 1 – 2 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
    • 1 – 2 tbsp of soy sauce
    • Tortillas (flour or corn)
  • Recipe – Tacos
    • To make the chickpea tacos, drain and rinse the can of chickpeas. Once done, add them to a skillet with the balsamic vinegar and soy sauce at a low to medium heat for about 5 minutes and stirring frequently.
    • At this point, you can chop up the green pepper, onion, tomatoes, and avocados. Place the onions and green pepper in a skillet with a little bit of olive oil and saute them for a few minutes.
    • Once the chickpeas are done roasting and the veggies are done sauteing, go ahead and assemble the taco and enjoy.
  • Recipe – Vegan Tzatziki Sauce
    • Cut the ends of the cucumber and grate half the cucumber into a strainer or towel. Squeeze or mash the cucumber so the excess water has been removed.
    • Take the grated cucumber and combine it with the coconut yogurt in a bowl. Once combined, season with the cumin and garlic powder to taste. Use it as the sauce for the chickpea tacos or add it to a gyro.
