03 -
1 tablespoon soy sauce
04 -
0.5 teaspoon dried oregano or use Italian seasoning
05 -
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
0.5 teaspoon paprika
07 -
1 teaspoon chili powder
08 -
1 teaspoon ground cumin
09 -
2 cans (425 g each) chickpeas, rinse and drain them
10 -
1 tablespoon (15 ml) avocado oil
→ For Serving
11 -
1 lime, sliced into wedges
12 -
0.25 cup (60 ml) sour cream or go for lime crema, up to you
13 -
0.25 cup (10 g) chopped fresh cilantro
14 -
8 soft tortillas, small size
15 -
1 cup (170 g) corn, canned or thawed from frozen
16 -
1 cup (240 ml) guacamole
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Now's the moment—hand out your tacos right away and let folks pile on extra guac, more sour cream, or pico if they're into it.
02 -
Load each warm tortilla with a big spoonful of chickpeas, add corn, then a scoop of guac. Sprinkle with cilantro, top with a dollop of crema or sour cream, then give it a splash of lime.
03 -
Toast tortillas in a dry skillet, about half a minute on each side, or just heat them how you like. For those crispy edges, try holding them right over a gas flame for a few seconds.
04 -
Dump in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well so every chickpea gets coated and gets a bit fragrant. That takes about 2 to 3 minutes. Take it off the heat and put aside.
05 -
Pour avocado oil into a big skillet and get it hot over medium-high for two minutes. Toss in the chickpeas and stir a lot, letting them get golden and toasty—should take about five minutes.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Keep all the parts in separate containers and pop them in the fridge. Wait to put stuff together 'til you're ready to eat—it's way better that way.
02 -
Need gluten-free? Use corn tortillas and make sure to grab a soy sauce that’s labeled gluten-free.
03 -
Go wild with extras like diced onions, chopped tomato, salsa, jalapeños, vegan cheese, or shredded lettuce.
