Best Garbanzo Tacos Recipes

GARBANZO TACOS

Garbanzo Tacos image

This is a wonderful recipe that I've had tucked into my cookbook for years - I wish I knew where it originally came from! The garbanzo beans (also known as chickpeas) are an amazing meat stand-in; honestly, you don't even miss the grease once you give these a try! This is also a very cost-effective and easy way to prepare a meal, since garbanzos are cheap and readily available. I realize this is so simple as to border ridiculous, but it's so good, you just might forgive me! :)

Yield 10 tacos, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning
10 tortillas or 10 hard taco shells

Steps:

Drain the garbanzo beans, reserving the liquid of one can. Rinse the beans briefly under cool running water in a strainer.
Pour the beans and the reserved bean liquid into a large skillet.
Add the taco seasoning.
Stir and let simmer approximately 10-15 minutes. Mash 1/4 - 1/3 of the beans while cooking to thicken the mixture, if desired (they stay put in tortillas better this way).
Use the garbanzos just like you would taco meat. Try tortillas and pile it high with lettuce, tomato, salsa, and cheese, or make a figure-friendly taco salad.

GARBANZO BEAN MINT TACOS

This is a great meal for a summer night! It's light, cool, refreshing, and very easy to make. Your palette will do a little dance! The bean mixture can be used on it's own as a very healthy snack. Home grown tomatoes add a really nice sweetness to the dish! If you use corn tortillas try to find organic ones with a short list of ingredients! My favorite ones only have corn, water, and lime. Eat real food!
