10 Minute Chickpea Tacos
For me, summer time means taco time. Ever since it's been warming up outside I've been dying to try some new plant based taco recipes. I recently played with making a recipe for chickpea tacos and let me tell you, they turned out amazing and were oh-so-simple.
The chickpea "meat" took less than 10 minutes to cook and goes well with any topping (I went simple and filled mine with jalapeños, salsa, and lettuce). All you need to make them is a can of chickpeas, some veggies, and spices, making them super easy and cheap. The taco seasoning I used comes from Against All Grain's recipe in her cookbook Meals Made Simple. The recipe and a link to this amazing cookbook is below!
