Chickpea Fajitas
Ingredients
- 400g chickpeas, drained
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- pinch paprika
- 2 small tomatoes, cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, finely sliced
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1 avocado
- 1 lime, juiced (plus wedges to serve)
- 100g sour cream
- 2 tsp harissa spice
- 4 corn tortillas
- coriander, to serve
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a baking tray with foil. Pat the drained chickpeas dry and tip onto the tray.
- Toss the chickpeas with the oil and paprika, then roast for 20-25 minutes until browned and crisp, shaking the tray halfway through.
- Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes, onion and vinegar in a small bowl and set aside to lightly pickle.
- Mash the avocado in another bowl, keeping some chunky texture. Stir in the lime juice and season well.
- Mix the sour cream with the harissa and set aside.
- Heat a griddle pan until almost smoking. Char the tortillas one at a time on each side until hot and marked.
- Bring everything to the table. Spread harissa cream over each tortilla, top with chickpeas, guacamole, pickled salsa and coriander, and serve with lime wedges.
