Chickpea Tacos with Cabbage Apple Slaw & Guacamole

Chickpea Tacos with Cabbage Apple Slaw & Guacamole is a quick vegan recipe that is so packed with flavor you may ask yourself why you’ve never made chickpea tacos before.

If you have ever seen my freezer, you’d know that I have frozen beans of all kinds.  I make big pots of them from dried beans and then freeze them for future use.  Yesterday morning I was fumbling through the freezer and happened on a bag of chickpeas (aka garbanzos, ceci, chana).  I absolutely love chickpeas and could eat a thousand handfuls of them daily. Chickpeas are now on my brain and I happen upon an update from Sabrina at The Tomato Tart   about Chickpea Tacos.  I’ve never had a chickpea taco, or heard of them.  After reading her amazing post, I knew I had to give them a try.

• Chickpeas (either from dried that have been cooked or from canned that have been rinsed)

How to make this recipe
