Garbanzo Tacos Recipes

VEGETARIAN CHICKPEA TACOS

Steps:

• Place chickpeas in a saucepan over medium heat. Add water and taco seasoning. Cook and stir until thoroughly heated, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Mash mixture to crush chickpeas.
• Divide chickpea filling evenly among taco shells.

CRUNCHY ROASTED CHICKPEA TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Toss the chickpeas with the oil, cumin, garlic salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until golden and crispy in spots, about 20 minutes.
• While the chickpeas roast, combine the onion, radishes, vinegar, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper in another medium bowl. Make sure the vegetables are completely submerged and set aside to slightly pickle, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the tahini, lime or lemon juice, hot sauce, 1/4 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a third medium bowl until smooth.
• Using a sharp knife (chef's or paring), cut both ends off the orange. Stand the orange on one end and cut away the peel and white pith, following the contour of the fruit. Working over a small bowl, carefully cut in between the membranes to remove the orange segments, letting them drop into the bowl; discard any seeds. Cut the segments in half crosswise. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into a fourth medium bowl, then add the avocado and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and mash together with a potato masher.
• Carefully toast 1 of the tortillas directly over a medium-high flame on a gas burner, watching closely, until dark char marks appear, about 1 minute. (If you have an electric burner, toast the tortillas in a dry cast-iron skillet.) Use heatproof tongs to flip the tortilla and repeat on the other side. Transfer to a large serving platter and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• Spread some of the mashed avocado on each of the tortillas (this will act as a ''glue'' for the chickpeas). Dividing evenly, top with the roasted chickpeas, pickled onions and radishes, oranges and corn nuts (or crushed chips), then drizzle with the tahini sauce.

GARBANZO TACOS

Steps:

• Drain the garbanzo beans, reserving the liquid of one can. Rinse the beans briefly under cool running water in a strainer.
• Pour the beans and the reserved bean liquid into a large skillet.
• Add the taco seasoning.
• Stir and let simmer approximately 10-15 minutes. Mash 1/4 - 1/3 of the beans while cooking to thicken the mixture, if desired (they stay put in tortillas better this way).
• Use the garbanzos just like you would taco meat. Try tortillas and pile it high with lettuce, tomato, salsa, and cheese, or make a figure-friendly taco salad.

CHIPOTLE CHICKPEA TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add soy sauce, chipotle chili powder, and garlic powder to the chickpeas and sauté for 3-4 more minutes, until golden brown.
• Serve on warm tortillas with desired taco toppings.
• Enjoy!

• Spoon garbanzo bean mixture into warm tortillas. Top with greens, avocado slices, and queso fresco.
