This would be a great recipe for families trying out Meatless Monday. It's fast, healthy and based on something most people already love.
You will need:
taco shells
package of taco seasoning
2 cans chickpeas
lettuce, tomato, onion
cheese (I used Daiya vegan cheese)
1) Drain one can of chickpeas and discard the liquid. Take the other can and put the liquid from it into a medium saucepan. Now, take the chickpeas from both cans and add them to your food processor along with an onion and a package of taco seasoning. Blend until it's crumbly and resembles the texture of taco meat. Don't overblend!
2) Now, add this mixture to your saucepan with the liquid from the 1 can of chickpeas. Cook over medium for about 10-15 minutes. Watch it and stir often so it doesn't burn. Add pepper and salt to taste.
3) Preheat your oven and heat your taco shells. In the meantime cut up you lettuce and tomato.
4) Once your chickpea "meat" is thoroughly warm and your shells are done, prepare you tacos. Serve with some Mexican rice or chips and salsa.
