Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons smoked paprika

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon lime juice

8 small corn or flour tortillas

Optional toppings: diced jalapeños, sliced radishes, vegan sour cream, or cheese

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Chickpeas: On a baking sheet, combine the chickpeas, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the chickpeas evenly.

      Roast the Chickpeas: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they’re crispy, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

        Mix the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn, diced red bell pepper, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Stir gently to avoid mashing the avocado.

          Combine Chickpeas and Salad: Once the chickpeas are done roasting, let them cool slightly, then add them to the salad bowl. Mix everything together gently.

            Warm the Tortillas: While the chickpea salad cools a little, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until they are pliable.

              Assemble the Tacos: Spoon a generous portion of the BBQ chickpea salad onto each tortilla. Add any optional toppings you desire such as jalapeños, radishes, or sour cream.

                Serve & Enjoy: Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing. Enjoy your delicious, smoky BBQ Chickpea Salad Tacos!
