Spicy Yogurt Dressing

Instructions

Chickpeas:

  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas, set aside. Then mix together all of the spices and set aside
  • In a frying pan over medium heat, add 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil and the chickpeas. Sauté for 3-5 minutes. Then add in the spice mix and stir occasionally while cooking for about 2 more minutes until all of the chickpeas are well coated. Set aside.

Assembly of the chickpea taco bowls:

  • Then divide all of the ingredients amongst the two large bowls. Drizzle with the spicy yogurt dressing and top with a squeeze of lime and cilantro.

Notes

**For the chickpea taco seasoning, if you already have a favourite taco seasoning you can use about 2 tbsp instead of the spices listed above.
**Don't love the spicy yogurt dressing? Use hot sauce on its own or your favourite dressing!
