Description

This recipe uses chickpeas and beans as a base while still having all the spice and goodness of typical ground meat tacos! Serve in warm tortillas with your favorite taco toppings!

Ingredients

  • 1  Onion, Diced Finely
  • ¼ cups Olive Oil, Divided
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Finely Chopped
  • 3 cups Chickpeas, Soaked/cooked Or Canned And Rinsed
  • 3 teaspoons Paprika (any Variety Or Combination)
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Cumin Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • ¾ cups To 1 Cup Water, As Needed
  • 2  Medium Sized Tomatoes, Chopped
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Red Beans
  • Warm Tortillas And Your Favorite Taco Toppings, To Serve

Preparation

1. Sauté chopped onion in half the olive oil on low heat for 5-10 minutes until they start to become translucent. Add chopped garlic and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
2. Add chickpeas and spices and continue to sauté on a medium-low heat. Once the spices are evenly distributed, add 3/4 to 1 cup of water and chopped tomatoes. Cover and let continue to cook and let the flavors develop for approximately 10 minutes. (During this time you can prepare the toppings for the tacos!) Taste at some point and adjust spices/salt as needed.
3. Once chickpeas have cooked, add beans and mix. Add more water if the mixture is becoming dry, but be careful not to let it become too soupy. Lower cooking temperature to low.
4. Remove 1 cup of chickpea/bean mixture to a small bowl and smash thoroughly with a fork with the remaining olive oil. Once completely mashed, stir back into mixture and let cook an an additional couple of minutes.

Serve in warm tortillas with toppings of your choice! I used chopped perilla, lettuce, tomatoes, and tzatziki sauce.
