Preparation

1

Roast the chickpeas:Turn on the oven to 375F. Wash and rinse all produce.

On lined baking sheet, place the Spiced chickpeas, oil (1/2 tsp, 1 tsp, 1 1/2 tsp), and salt (1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 3/4 tsp). Combine to ensure even coating and place in an even layer. Bake until the chickpeas are warm and slightly crispy – 10 to 15 minutes.

2

Prepare the toppings: Peel the mango and cut in 1 cm dices. Cut the lime in wedges and roughly chop the cilantro in about 1 cm pieces. Cut the red cabbage* in thin strips of about 1/4 cm.

*Note: Get the stink out of here! Cabbage can stink! To reduce the smell, run cold water and open your cabbage bags under the running cold water.

3

Heat the corn tortillas: Heat a pan on medium high. Keep the pan dry – do not add oil – place 1 or 2 corn tortilla in the pan for 15 to 30 seconds on each side. Use tongues to flip them. Place the warm corn tortilla in a clean towel and wrap them so they stay warm.

Note: When heating the tortilla you will notice a toasty smell and a few darkened spots – you are doing it right! Heating the corn tortilla is important to reduce chances of the tortilla breaking and makes them taste good.

4

Assemble and Serve: In each taco, place the roasted adobo & jerk chickpeas, red cabbage, cilantro, mango, honey lime taco dressing. Each portion includes 3 tacos. Serve with a lime
