CRUNCHY ROASTED CHICKPEA TACOS



Crunchy Roasted Chickpea Tacos image

Roasted chickpeas aren't just a fun snack, they make an excellent plant-based filling for tacos. The trick to getting them super crispy is to pat the chickpeas completely dry before seasoning. For the finishing touch, channel the flavors of falafel and drizzle the tacos with a spicy tahini sauce!

Time 30m

Yield 6 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 16

Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed, drained and patted dry
1 tablespoon olive oil or neutral oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic salt, or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder mixed with 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small red or yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 radishes, thinly sliced
1/3 cup red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup tahini
Juice of 1 lime or lemon
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 orange
1 avocado, pitted and peeled
Six 6-inch flour or corn tortillas
1/3 cup corn nuts or corn chips or tortilla chips, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Toss the chickpeas with the oil, cumin, garlic salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until golden and crispy in spots, about 20 minutes.
  • While the chickpeas roast, combine the onion, radishes, vinegar, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper in another medium bowl. Make sure the vegetables are completely submerged and set aside to slightly pickle, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the tahini, lime or lemon juice, hot sauce, 1/4 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a third medium bowl until smooth.
  • Using a sharp knife (chef's or paring), cut both ends off the orange. Stand the orange on one end and cut away the peel and white pith, following the contour of the fruit. Working over a small bowl, carefully cut in between the membranes to remove the orange segments, letting them drop into the bowl; discard any seeds. Cut the segments in half crosswise. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into a fourth medium bowl, then add the avocado and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and mash together with a potato masher.
  • Carefully toast 1 of the tortillas directly over a medium-high flame on a gas burner, watching closely, until dark char marks appear, about 1 minute. (If you have an electric burner, toast the tortillas in a dry cast-iron skillet.) Use heatproof tongs to flip the tortilla and repeat on the other side. Transfer to a large serving platter and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • Spread some of the mashed avocado on each of the tortillas (this will act as a ''glue'' for the chickpeas). Dividing evenly, top with the roasted chickpeas, pickled onions and radishes, oranges and corn nuts (or crushed chips), then drizzle with the tahini sauce.

Provided by Anna Stockwell

Categories     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Taco     Chickpea     Yogurt     Lamb     Ground Lamb     Eggplant     Raisin     Red Wine     Tomato     Pine Nut     Dinner

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/4 cups chickpea flour
1/4 cup plain yogurt, plus more for serving
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
1/2 pound ground lamb
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (1-pound) eggplant, cut into 1" cubes
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup red wine
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
Baby greens, such as arugula, kale, or spinach, and lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, 1/4 cup yogurt, 1 1/4 tsp. salt, and 2 cups plus 1 Tbsp. water in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add lamb, cumin, red pepper, and 1/4 tsp. salt and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon and stirring often, until browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving fat in skillet.
  • Add 2 Tbsp. oil to skillet, then add eggplant and remaining 1 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until lightly browned and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add raisins and wine and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and their juices, pine nuts, lamb mixture, and 1/4 cup water. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the juices have evaporated, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, swirl remaining 1 tsp. oil in an 8" nonstick skillet, then wipe it out with paper towels so there's just a sheen of oil coating skillet, then heat over medium-high. Whisk flour mixture to loosen, then pour about 1/3 cup into skillet. Immediately swirl to coat pan with batter, as if you're making a crepe, and cook until bottom is browned, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until browned, 30 seconds more. Transfer to a clean plate and cover with a towel to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, using greased paper towels to prepare pan before each, until you have at least 8 pancakes. (The batter can yield 11-12 pancakes, but you might have a few you'll need to discard-or nibble as a snack as you cook.)
  • Spoon lamb filling onto pancakes. Top with yogurt and greens and serve with lemon wedges alongside.
  • Do Ahead
  • Pancake batter can be made 2 days ahead; cover and chill. Pancakes can be made 3 days ahead; transfer to resealable plastic bags and chill, or freeze up to 1 month. Reheat in skillet before serving.
