Recipe: Veggieversary Chickpea Tacos (GF)

This weekend, my best friend is celebrating her VEGGIEVERSARY!!!!!

Since we share clothes, she came over for a lunch date/to find some saweet outfits for the weekend. I got right to work strapping on my pretty apron and making something phenomenal for lunch.

Oh. It was PHENOMENAL.

If you try nothing else on this blog...please. Try these. (Vegetarianism not required.)

Chickpea Tacos w/Homemade Guac:
  • 8, 6-in. corn tortillas
  • lettuce
  • tomato
  • 1, 15-oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • taco seasoning (I used this recipe for GF-I always use McCormick's spices)
  • tamari sauce
  • lemon juice
  • favorite salsa (I used tomatillo salsa)
  • homemade guac (recipe follows)
  • fresh cilantro
Spray cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare homemade taco seasoning (GF), or use a package (not GF). Combine chickpeas, seasoning, tamari, and lemon juice. Spread evenly over cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes- until chickpeas are crunchy on the outside, but have a slight "give" on the inside.

Guac that Rocks (Ha...):
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1 T fresh cilantro, minced
  • 1 lg clove garlic, minced
  • salt/pepper
  • lime juice (~1 T)
Prepare guac by smashing all ingredients together. Warm corn tortillas by microwaving for about 20 seconds between 2 moist paper towells. Assemble tacos using chickpeas, lettuce, tomato, salsa, guac, and a sprinkle o'cilantro.

*Makes 2, 4-taco servings (Yes...4 tacos. The girls can eat!)

Moan.

Do you have a recipe that you think is absolutely, blow your socks off phenomenal? Share with me please!!!

Peace, Love, and Veggies,
Bee Louise
