VEGAN CHICKPEA TACOS
VEGAN CHICKPEA TACOS
Vegan chickpea tacos recipe with avocado and a tahini dressing. These vegan tacos are gluten-free, healthy, easy to make, and delicious. Homemade tortillas recipe included
Ingredients
- 6 soft tortillas
- Taco filling
- 1 avocado chopped into cubes
- 2 tomatoes diced
- 1 1/2 cups chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1 green pepper chopped
- 1/2 big onion finely sliced
- 6 tbsp red cabbage finely sliced
- 1-2 tbsp balsamic vinegar (to roast the chickpeas)
- 1-2 tbsp soy sauce (to roast the chickpeas)
- fresh cilantro to taste
Tahini dressing
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/8 cup (or more) water (to thin out)
- 3 tbsp lime juice or lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/3 tsp salt or more to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper ground
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin (optional)
- 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Put the chickpeas in a pan/skillet together with the balsamic vinegar and soy sauce. Roast at low-medium heat for about 5 minutes and stir frequently
- Chop your veggies and the avocado. You can lightly sauté the veggies (onion, green pepper, red cabbage, tomatoes) in a pan/skillet for a few minutes with a little bit of oil or leave them raw (like I did)
- Mix the ingredients for the tahini dressing in a small bowl with a whisk. If you use a thick tahini paste then you might need more water to thin it out
- Stuff your tortillas with the veggies, the roasted chickpeas and drizzle the tahini dressing on top. Enjoy hot or cold!
Notes
The recipe makes approximately 6 tacos. I calculated the nutrition facts for one taco, made with my homemade gluten-free tortillas. The numbers will be different if you use store-bought tortillas
