Chickpea Tinga Tacos All In One Pan

Our chefs took a traditional meat-based taco recipe and turned it into something that’s completely veg-friendly and just as satisfying. It uses chickpeas as the main protein, and they become all the more hearty when simmered in a warmly spiced tomato sauce. They’re joined by add-ins and toppings like poblano pepper, pickled shallot, and Monterey Jack cheese, making them a winner on Meatless Monday or any other night of the week.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Wash and dry all produce. Drain and rinse chickpeas. Halve, peel, and very thinly slice shallot. Core, deseed, and finely chop poblano. Dice tomato. Quarter lime.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, half the shallot, 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings), a pinch of salt, and 1 TBSP water until sugar and salt are mostly dissolved. Set aside to pickle, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve.

  3. 3

    Pat chickpeas dry with paper towels; season with salt, pepper, and half the Southwest Spice (you’ll use the rest later). Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chickpeas and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisped, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a second medium bowl.

  4. 4

    Heat another large drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add poblano and remaining shallot; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. Return chickpeas to pan and stir in tomato paste, stock concentrate, remaining Southwest Spice, and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until chickpeas are coated in a thick sauce, 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds. In a small bowl, combine sour cream and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

  6. 6

    Divide filling between tortillas. Top with tomato, Monterey Jack, crema, and as much pickled shallot as you like. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
