Chickpea Tacos

This week, on Taco Tuesday, I  made "chickpea taco meat" for my tacos. This stuff is great! It is super easy, inexpensive, quick, healthy, and delicious. It really doesn't get much better than that! I was inspired by Amy, or Amy's New Nostalgia, and then made some changes. Here is a link to her original recipe, which is worth checking out: http://www.amynewnostalgia.com/garbanzo-bean-taco-meat/ I really link this recipe, as I am usually making two types of tacos, one vegan and one not, this one doesn't add much work, but is super good.

Here is my version:

Ingredients:
  1. 15 oz can garbanzo beans, drained & rinsed
  2. 1 tbsp soy sauce
  3. 2 tsp lemon or lime juice
  4. 2-3 tbsp of taco seasoning (I use this one: http://bethshappyjoyfulfoodfulblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/homemade-taco-seasoning.html
  5. 1/3 cup water
  6. 1/4 cup salsa
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400.  Toss soy sauce, lemon/lime juice, and seasonings.  Add beans and toss until coated.  Place on a tray.  Bake 25 minutes until crunchy.
  2. Put beans, water, and salsa in high powered blender, and blend to the consistency of taco meat
  3. Assemble tacos with your favorite garnishments and enjoy!
