Description

These crispy air-fried chickpea tacos combine crunchy, seasoned chickpeas with creamy avocado and fresh tomatoes, all wrapped in warm tortillas. A quick, easy, and wholesome plant-based meal perfect for a flavorful taco night.


Ingredients

Chickpeas

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp paprika

Taco Fillings

  • 4 small tortillas (corn or flour)
  • ½ avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup diced tomatoes


Instructions

  1. Prepare Chickpeas: Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. In a mixing bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil and paprika until evenly coated.
  2. Air Fry Chickpeas: Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C). Place the seasoned chickpeas in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
  3. Assemble Tacos: Warm the tortillas if desired. Divide the crispy chickpeas evenly among the tortillas. Top with sliced avocado and diced tomatoes for a fresh, creamy balance.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a drizzle of lime crema or chipotle mayo.
  • Use corn tortillas to keep the recipe gluten-free.
  • Serve with a side of fresh lime wedges for an added zesty kick.
