Garbanzo Tacos

[LadyDragonfly1]

I wanted black beans, so I did all the same stuff and used black beans.  It was wonderful.  I had gotten a bag of angel hair lettuce shreds so it was definitely taco time.  These took all of 10 minutes and were just divine.  I added some chipotle salsa and black olives, tofu sour creme, tomatoes...oh my I think I need some NOW.

As college students, we're always looking for cheaper alternatives... this is cheaper to make than tacos with fake beef and just as yummy!

Wow--this is the most AMAZING recipe ever.

Delicious!! We fried up some cubes of potatoes with veg oil and salt and pepper & added it in with avocados and lots of hot sauce! Yummy

Good, fast and delicious!  I was surprised how tasty this was.  I think next time I'll add some green peppers into the mixture.  Thanks for the recipe!

Yum, I liked it. I avoided added salt and made my own taco seasoning, and i also added a bit of morning star farms vegan veggie grounds, but I think next time i'll leave the grounds out. They were good, but took away from the garbanzos. Someone said something about avacado in an earlier comment, i think i'll do that next time!

great recipe!  i sauteed some finely chopped onion before adding the beans, seasoning and some tomato paste.  i only had one can of beans, so i stretched it out with corn and black olives.  (i know it sounds lazy, but to get another can of beans i'd have to go to the other side of town and pay ridiculous import store prices).  it was still great, and the corn was surprisingly good.  and i guess it counts as protein combining.

This was so great. I also added a little garlic salt to the beans and some pepper. All in all totally delicoius. Even my boyfriend who isn't a vegetarian loved this and asked for seconds!!!

A quick, cheap, easy, and pretty damn tasty recipe. Next time, I'll make my own taco seasoning.

hi all.
Whole Foods along with other health food stores carry natural taco seasoning packets that contain all natural ingredients. Bearitos is a good one. La Preferida is another natural brand found in conventional grocery stores. Keep it natural. Keep it real.

I was sort of wary of putting chickpeas into tacos.  I've always used them in Middle Eastern food like hummus and falafel and spicy Indian dishes, but tacos?  Oh my god, I'm so glad I tried this recipe.  It's maximum yuminess with almost no effort.  I had it with the fixin's I like last night, and again in a taco salad (with just romaine and tomatoes) and it was so, so good.  I mashed the chickpeas with a potato masher after they cooked for a few minutes and the texture was perfect.  These are going to be a staple for me- Taco Tuesday! (and Wednesday and Thursday, and- you get the idea).  Try this and don't be weirded out by mixing chickpeas with taco seasoning.

My mom made these tacos and they were yummy!  She's a vegan but we're not, we loved them anyway.

This recipe has become a weekly meal for my family! We LOVE them, and have replaced the beef in our taco's with chickpeas! This recipe was a poor man's God Sent!

So yummy!  And so cheap too.  Used water instead of bean liquid and mashed the beans up a bit. Plus added lots of chili powder and cayenne because I like spicy food.  My non-veg boyfriend loved them.  I used to eat tacos with refried beans but this is much better.  Served with salsa and lettuce on wheat tortillas. Yum!
