Chickpea Tacos

Perhaps the most popular vegan dish I've ever prepared is one called chickpea tacos. I get requests every so often from my family to make this dish, and it's always a hit. I've even made chickpea tacos for a dinner that served approximately 50 omnivores! It's surprisingly easy, cheap and delicious. I've adapted this recipe only slightly from one I found on VegWeb.com years ago.

Ingredients:
    2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans (1 can drained)
    1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet vegan taco seasoning
    6 large tortillas or 12 hard taco shells
    taco "accessories"
: shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onions, salsa, guacamole, etc!


Directions:
    1. Dump both cans of beans into the skillet with the liquid from one of the cans.


    2. Mash the garbanzo beans with a fork (optional). I do this because I don't like the idea of round beans rolling out of my tacos every which way, plus I think they absorb more flavor when they're not whole.


    3. Dump in the taco seasoning, stir and let simmer on med-high heat for 15-20 minutes or until beans are soft and liquid is simmered off.


    4. Add beans and other ingredients to tacos, burritos, taco salad, etc.


Serves 6
Prep time 30 minutes
