Ingredients

• 2 cups canned garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces small corn tortillas
• 1 cup shredded red cabbage
• 1 cup diced tomato
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 whole lime
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned garbanzo beans. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the garbanzo beans with the spice mixture until evenly coated.

Step 4

Add the seasoned garbanzo beans to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly crispy and heated through.

Step 5

While the beans are cooking, prepare the lime crema. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the juice of half a lime. If desired, add hot sauce for a kick of heat.

Step 6

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos: Place a scoop of the spiced garbanzo beans on each tortilla. Top with shredded red cabbage, diced tomato, and chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Drizzle each taco with the lime crema and serve with lime wedges on the side for extra zest.

Step 9

Enjoy your flavorful Garbanzo Tacos!
