Chickpea Tacos

Chickpea Tacos

Serves 4

30 minutes or fewer

Turns out, tacos don’t have to be hot to be delicious. The chickpea-avocado mash used as a filling here is prepared and served at room temperature. (It makes a great sandwich spread as well.) Because the fat content of taco shells can vary, look for brands that contain approximately 6 grams or fewer per shell.
  • 1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1 15-oz. can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 3 Tbs. chopped cilantro
  • 4 tsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (1 tsp.)
  • 8 corn taco shells
  • 2 cups baby salad greens
  • 1 cup prepared salsa (medium or hot)
  • ½ cup nondairy sour cream

1. Place avocado in small bowl, and mash with fork. Stir in chickpeas, cilantro, lime juice, and garlic; season with salt and pepper.

2. Set taco shells in napkin-lined basket. Place salad greens, salsa, and sour cream in separate bowls, and set out alongside chickpea-avocado mash.

3. To serve, let each person build their own taco by filling each shell with ¼ cup chickpea-avocado mash, some greens, salsa, and sour cream.

To avoid some of the fat, try using a soft tortilla.

Great recipe! I used fat free cottage cheese instead of the sour cream and it was delicious!
