Today’s Plant-Based Creation: Spicy Mango Chickpea Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a vibrant and flavorful recipe that’s perfect for a hot summer day. These spicy mango chickpea tacos are a unique twist on a classic dish, combining the sweetness of ripe mangoes with the heat of spicy chickpeas. It’s a burst of tropical flavors that will surely tantalize your taste buds.

To start, gather these ingredients:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• can opener
• skillet
• mixing bowl

For the spicy chickpeas, you will need:
– 1 can of chickpeas (400g), drained and rinsed
– 1 tablespoon of olive oil
– 1 teaspoon of chili powder
– 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
– Salt and pepper to taste

For the mango salsa, prepare:
– 2 ripe mangoes (500g), peeled and diced
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1/4 cup of red onion, finely chopped
– Juice of 1 lime
– Salt and pepper to taste

To serve:
– 8 small corn tortillas
– Fresh cilantro, chopped
– Lime wedges

Start by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chickpeas, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the chickpeas with the spices and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are lightly browned and crispy. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mangoes, red bell pepper, red onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable. Assemble the tacos by spooning the spicy chickpeas onto each tortilla, then topping with mango salsa. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

This recipe makes approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing about 250 grams. One serving of these spicy mango chickpea tacos is around 350 calories.

A tip to make these tacos even more delicious is to quickly char the corn tortillas over an open flame before assembling them. This will add a smoky flavor that complements the sweetness of the mango salsa.
