  • 1/2 medium onion sliced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1.5 bell peppers sliced
  • 1 cup sliced red cabbage
  • 1/4 cup corn
  • Lemon or lime juice for serving
  • Chopped cilantro for serving
  • store-bought salsa to serve, as desired

Guacamole

  • 1 avocado
  • juice of 1/2 lemon or lime
  • Generous dash salt, garlic powder, and pepper
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped tomato
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro or substitute parsley

Spicy tahini sauce

  • 3 tbsp runny tahini
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon or lime
  • 1-2 tsp hot sauce optional
  • 2-3 tbsp water to thin as desired

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Drain the chickpeas, rinse, and pat dry. Transfer them to a baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and toss. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each of cumin, chili powder, and salt. Toss again, and bake for 15 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat with the oil while you slice the onions. Add them to the skillet along with the seasonings. Stir to incorporate the seasonings.

  3. After 5 minutes of cooking, you can add a tablespoon or two of water to the pan if it is getting too dry. Add red cabbage and bell peppers. Cook another 5 minutes with the lid on, stirring occasionally.

  4. Add in corn and cook just until peppers are crisp-tender.

  5. Make the guacamole by mashing the avocado in a bowl and adding the other guacamole ingredients, then stir well.

  6. Heat the tortillas by gently toasting them in a skillet or warming them in the microwave for approximately 20 to 30 seconds.

  7. While heating the tortillas, make the spicy tahini sauce by whisking together the ingredients in a bowl.

  8. Assemble by dividing the chickpeas and vegetables between the warmed tortillas. Top with guacamole and spicy tahini sauce. You may have a bit of extra tahini sauce for another use.
