Enjoy quick, nutritious Spicy Mango Chickpea Tacos with Avocado Lime Cream. Perfect for a vibrant and healthy dinner in 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- • chickpeas (canned): 1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed
- • mango: 1 ripe, peeled, pitted, and diced
- • red bell pepper: 1, diced
- • red onion: 1/2, finely chopped
- • corn tortillas: 8 small
- • avocado: 1 ripe
- • lime: 1, juiced
- • fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • jalapeño: 1 small, seeded and minced
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • ground cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
- • olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- • salt: to taste
- • black pepper: to taste
Instructions
- 1 Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, then the chickpeas, red bell pepper, and red onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the chickpeas are slightly crispy.
- 2 Add the minced jalapeño, garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the chickpeas and vegetables evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
- 3 In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork and mix in the lime juice and half of the chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste to create the Avocado Lime Cream.
- 4 Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Assemble the tacos by spooning the chickpea mixture onto each tortilla, followed by a generous portion of diced mango.
- 5 Drizzle with Avocado Lime Cream and garnish with the remaining cilantro. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Spicy Mango Chickpea Tacos are best enjoyed with a side of crunchy cabbage slaw for added texture and color. For a refreshing beverage pairing, consider a chilled glass of sparkling water infused with lime and mint, which complements the citrus notes in the dish. If you're looking to add a bit more substance, serve with a side of black bean salad or a light quinoa salad tossed with fresh herbs and lemon vinaigrette. These additions will enhance the meal's nutritional profile and keep you satisfied.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover chickpea filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The Avocado Lime Cream should be stored separately in a small airtight container and consumed within 1-2 days to maintain its freshness and prevent browning. When reheating the chickpea mixture, use a skillet over medium heat to retain its texture and flavor. Avoid reheating the tortillas, and instead, use fresh ones for future servings.
