Organic Chickpea Fajita Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the spices.
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with grease proof paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chickpeas are crispy and slightly golden brown.
- While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare the fajita vegetables. In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced peppers, onion, and zucchini to the skillet. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
- Warm the tortillas according to package instructions.
- Assemble the fajitas by spooning some roasted chickpeas and sautéed vegetables onto each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, salsa, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Optionally, serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream.
