Today’s Vegetarian Recipe: Spicy Mango Chickpea Tacos

Hey there, foodies! I’m excited to share with you one of my favorite flavor-packed recipes perfect for a summer fiesta — Spicy Mango Chickpea Tacos. The sweet and tangy mango salsa paired with the spicy chickpeas creates a deliciously unique combination that will leave your taste buds begging for more. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 400g canned chickpeas (drained)
  • 1 ripe mango (diced)
  • 1/2 red onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 jalapeno (seeded and diced)
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • Handful of fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 small tortillas

Kitchen Tools:

  • skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • spatula

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the drained chickpeas and season with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are crispy.

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeno, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Season with a pinch of salt and mix well to combine. Set aside.

Warm up the tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side until warm and pliable.

To assemble the tacos, spoon the spicy chickpeas onto each tortilla, top with a generous scoop of mango salsa, and garnish with extra cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors in every bite!

The cooked dish weighs approximately 940g, serves 4, with an average serving weight of 235g. Each serving is approximately 350 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to lightly toast the tortillas over an open flame for a smoky flavor that complements the sweetness of the mango salsa perfectly.

I highly encourage you to give these Spicy Mango Chickpea Tacos a try and make them your own by adding your favorite toppings or adjusting the spice level to suit your taste. Happy cooking!
