A delightful twist on classic tacos, featuring seasoned chickpeas as the star ingredient.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, reserving the liquid from one can.
The reserved liquid, aquafaba, can be used to adjust the consistency of the filling.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper until softened.
Adding a pinch of salt while sautéing helps to draw out the moisture from the vegetables.
Add the chickpeas, reserved liquid, and taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes, mashing some of the chickpeas to thicken the filling.
Mashing a portion of the chickpeas creates a creamy texture that holds well in tortillas.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
Warming the tortillas enhances their flavor and makes them more pliable.
Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with the chickpea mixture and topping with lettuce, tomato, salsa, and cheese.
Serve immediately to enjoy the tacos at their freshest.
Serve the tacos with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Pair with guacamole or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
