Chipotle Chickpea Tacos
Quick and easy tacos that are full of smoky-spicy chipotle flavor and packed with nutrition.
Servings 8 tacos
Ingredients
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce*, chopped (see note. If not using, at least use chipotle chili powder.)
- 1 tbl taco seasoning (I make my own)
- 2 cans or 3 cups garbanzo beans
- 8 corn tortillas
- Guacamole or mashed avocado
- Cilantro, chopped
- lime wedges
- hot sauce
Instructions
- Saute onion, garlic and chipotle pepper for 3-4 minutes. Add garbanzo beans and taco seasoning. Cook until heated through. Salt and pepper to taste, and add additional taco seasoning as desired. Serve on warmed corn tortillas with plenty of guacamole, cilantro, and hot sauce on top.
Notes
*The chipotle peppers in adobo sauce come in a little can in the Hispanic foods aisle. They are smoky, sweet and spicy and add a very delicious punch to lots of things. Usually a recipe only calls for 1 pepper, so lay the rest out on a plate and freeze them. Once frozen, you can put them in a zip loc bag in the freezer to pull out one at a time as you use them in future recipes.
