Preparation
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, tamari or coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, ground cumin, coriander, minced garlic, finely diced red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and lime zest to make the marinade.
Add the rinsed and drained chickpeas to the marinade and fold them in to coat. Let them marinate for a few minutes.
Preheat a large skillet and then pour the chickpeas with the marinade into the pan. Sauté for about 5 minutes to cook off some of the liquid.
Remove from heat and top with extra cilantro. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
To assemble the nourish bowl, add cooked rice or quinoa to a bowl. Top with the cilantro lime chickpeas, freshly diced tomatoes, fresh chopped cucumbers, and fresh avocado.
Enjoy!
