I never thought my quest to bring the tulip-man from the dark side (the dark side being people who do not enjoy eating tacos) would lead me to putting beets and chickpeas together in a recipe. But here we are. Chickpeas can be friends with everybody (remember when we made dessert hummus?) so I knew chickpeas and beets would get along just fine. But I wasn’t expecting them to become like, best friends. But they did. These beet and chickpea tacos have the sweetness of beets and the spiciness of the chickpeas, tied up with creamy avocado and feta, and finished with zingy red onion and lime. What I’m trying to say is, I love these tacos so much, and I know you will too!
Here’s what’s going into these Roasted Beet Chickpea Tacos
Beets: Roast beets in aluminum foil to steam them into soft perfection Chickpeas: Spiced to taste and thrown in the oven for the last 20 minutes of cooking with the beets. Avocado, Feta, Sour Cream/Yogurt: In lieu of making a creamy sauce, we’re keeping these tacos quick to make with ripe avocado, feta cheese (substitute soft cotija cheese if you can get your hands on it!)m and plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream). Red Onion, Cilantro, Lime Juice: Our final flavor-makers bring a little zing and pops of flavor.
