Last week I made this for a quick dinner, it was great! Easy and tasty meal idea:
2
cups cooked chickpeas or 1 can rinsed and drained
1-2
cups salsa (depending on how saucy you want it)
1
clove garlic minced
1
tsp cumin
Combine
ingredients and simmer in pan 15 minutes or until hot. Serve with roasted
veggies on taco shells or as a salad topping.

I mash chickpeas, onion, garlic, basil, spinach, tomato paste + seasonings and GF breadcrumbs and roll in balls then bake. Sorry I just mix and throw things in, no recipe :) They freeze really well too.
DeleteHope the half went well this morning!! Chickpea tacos are such a good idea, yum!
ReplyDeleteI changed my plans and took it easy, the end not so great, but more on that tomorrow.
DeleteI LOVE this recipe! Thank you for sharing! My entire life is a vegetarian challenge..if that counts for anything ;) I have no idea what I'm making the rest of the week, but I'm making veggie nachos tonight for Cinco de Mayo!
ReplyDeleteMe too, veg daily here :) I am always looking for new ways to cook to please my non veg hubby too.
DeleteGreat plan! I did pretty good with the veggie challenge except the last two days. I don't normally eat very much meat so I'm planning to keep the meat at mostly fish from here on out although I can't make any promises.
ReplyDeleteThe chickpea tacos sound good. On Friday the office ordered in a taco bar so I made mine with black beans and no meat. Tasted great!
So glad the challenge went good! Tacos yum :)
DeleteA new recipe Zucchini noodles and spicy Romesco sauce and a favorite E2 burger. WTG with your dairy free weeks!
ReplyDeleteYum, that sounds good :)
