Description
A delicious and satisfying meal featuring crispy chickpeas tossed in spicy buffalo sauce, perfect for game day or a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 8 small taco shells (corn or flour)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, toss the drained and rinsed chickpeas with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Shake the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Once the chickpeas are crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. In a clean bowl, toss the roasted chickpeas with buffalo sauce until they are well coated.
- While the chickpeas are cooling, warm the taco shells according to package instructions, either in the oven or microwave.
- Fill each taco shell with a generous amount of the buffalo chickpeas. Top with sliced avocado, shredded red cabbage, and chopped cilantro.
- Drizzle sour cream over the top of the tacos and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
Notes
- Store leftover chickpeas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Keep tortillas and toppings separate to maintain freshness.
- For extra crunch, consider air-frying the chickpeas instead of baking them.
