These Crispy Chickpea Tacos with Kale Slaw and Tahini Dressing are a delightful fusion of textures and flavors, offering a satisfying vegan meal. The chickpeas are seasoned and roasted to perfection, providing a crunchy element to the tacos. The kale slaw adds freshness and color, while the creamy tahini dressing ties everything together with its nutty and tangy notes.
Ingredients: 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. 1 teaspoon ground cumin. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Salt and pepper to taste. 8 small taco-sized tortillas. 2 cups shredded kale. 1/4 cup shredded purple cabbage. 1/4 cup shredded carrots. 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. 2 tablespoons tahini. 2 tablespoons water. 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 1 clove garlic, minced. 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup. Salt and pepper to taste. Lime wedges, for serving.
Instructions: Turn on the oven and heat it up to 400F 200C. Mix the chickpeas with cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the olive oil and toss until the chickpeas are well covered. Put the chickpeas on a baking sheet and spread them out. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the pan every so often, until they are crispy. Shred the kale, purple cabbage, carrots, and cilantro and put them all in another bowl. To make the dressing, mix the tahini, water, lemon juice, minced garlic, maple syrup, salt, and pepper in a small bowl with a whisk. To make the tortillas soft, heat them in a dry skillet or the microwave. Put crispy chickpeas, kale slaw, and tahini dressing in the middle of each tortilla to make a taco. Put lime wedges on the side and serve.
