I am in love with the recipes at Happy Herbivore!! The cook, Lindsay, is a genius. Grab some recipes and get cooking :) I still want to buy the book, but until then, I am trying the online recipes.
Tonight I tried the Chickpea Taco made with chickpeas of course. I was skeptical, but based on the other fabulous dishes that came out of dubious recipes in her book, I knew I needed to try it. The recipe did not disappoint. Here is the link to Chickpea Tacos. And here are recipes I have not yet tried - a page of recipes for Mexican dishes.
So the secret to this recipe is to bake the chickpeas after having coated them in tamari, lemon juice, and taco seasoning. They bake in a hot oven for 20 minutes and get crispy outside, but soft in the middle. Then make your taco as you wish.
I like whole wheat soft taco shells made in Kansas (which is easy to get since I live in KC MO). I like spicy salsa and I had some leftover brown rice (that I make with mushroom broth) and I used that as well. I topped the tacos with raw kale. These were really, really, good!! The best part - no grease!
Here is where I let my vegan conscious take a break. I did not look at the ingredient list on the taco shells. Since they are from a local company, I don't know if they are made authentic with lard or just shortening. But they are made with whole wheat and that is worth the having :)
Bon Apetite, mucho gusto, and Enjoy!
