Tacos With Roasted Vegetables And Chickpeas In Chipotle Ranchera Salsa Recipes

TACOS WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES AND CHICKPEAS IN CHIPOTLE RANCHERA SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover a large sheet pan with foil, and oil the foil. Place all of the vegetables except the onions in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper and toss with the olive oil until all of the vegetables are coated. Spread in an even layer on the prepared pan. Place in the top third of the oven and bake 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Meanwhile, rinse the onion, drain on paper towels and toss with a teaspoon of olive oil.
• Add the onions to the vegetables and toss together. Turn the heat down to 375, move the baking pan to the middle rack and continue to bake until the vegetables are lightly browned on the edges and tender all the way through when pierced with a knife, about 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and add the chickpeas if using.
• Make the salsa while the vegetables are roasting. Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the onion on it. Broil 5 to 10 minutes, turning once, until charred. Remove from the heat and when cool enough to handle, cut in large dice and place in a blender with the tomatoes, serranos, garlic and chipotle. Purée until smooth.
• Heat the canola oil in a heavy saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of the puree sizzles immediately on contact. Add the purée, season to taste with salt and cook, stirring often, until the sauce darkens and thickens, leaving a canal when you run the cooking spoon across the bottom of the pan, about 15 minutes. If you want a thinner sauce, thin out with water as needed. Remove from heat. Taste and adjust salt.
• Warm the tortillas. Stir some of the salsa (to taste) into the vegetables. Spoon onto the tortillas, sprinkle on the cheese and serve, with more salsa as desired.

CHIPOTLE TILAPIA TACOS WITH MANGO-CILANTRO SALSA

Steps:

• Stir together the chipotle chile powder, garlic powder, salt, and cracked black pepper in a shallow bowl. Brush the tilapia fillets with the canola oil, and press into the spice mixture to coat, and set aside. Make the salsa by stirring together the mango, jalapeno, red onion, 1 clove garlic, cilantro, and lime juice in a separate bowl, and set aside. Make the aioli by stirring together the chipotle puree, 1 clove garlic, and mayonnaise in a small bowl, and set aside.
• Bring the black beans and 2 cloves of garlic to a simmer in a saucepan with a pinch of salt. Cover, and cook over low heat for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the tilapia until opaque in the center, and crispy on both sides, about 7 minutes. Heat the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat, and keep warm.
• To serve, place the tortillas on a plate, spoon on some Spanish rice and black beans. Top with some of the coleslaw mix, hot tilapia, and a spoonful of the mango-cilantro salsa. Top with a dollop of chipotle aioli to serve.

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.

ROASTED-VEGETABLE TACOS

• Heat oven to 425°F. Spray jelly roll pan, 15 1/2x10 1/2x1 inch, with cooking spray.
• Place mushrooms, onion, bell pepper and zucchini in single layer in pan. Spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt and red pepper. Bake uncovered 20 to 25 minutes, turning vegetables once, until tender.

CHIPOTLE CHICKPEA TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

• 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!

ROASTED VEGETABLE TOSTADAS WITH CHIPOTLE CREAM

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Spray a heavy baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
• For the vegetables: Toss the zucchini, bell pepper, squash, oil, cumin, oregano and salt in a medium bowl. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until the vegetables are golden and tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
• For the tostadas: Brush both sides of the tortillas with the oil using a pastry brush. Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the tortillas until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.
• For the cream: Mix the pepper, sour cream, lime juice and agave until smooth in a small bowl.
• Spoon the vegetables on top of the tostadas and serve with a dollop of the chipotle cream.
