Ingredients
1 jar Masala Mama Vindaloo Sauce
1 16 oz can Chickpeas, rinsed and drained
¼ - ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
Tortillas (great on tortilla chips also)
1 carrot, grated
½ small cabbage, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (about ½ cup)
1/2 lime. juiced
Guacamole or sliced avocados
1 8 oz. container sour cream or vegan yogurt*, for garnish
Salt and pepper
Directions
In a medium sized pot, combine chickpeas with Masala Mama Vindaloo Sauce** and crushed red pepper. Simmer over medium heat until thick and coated, 5-7 minutes. Adjust salt to taste.
Make a simple slaw combining the carrots, cabbage and most of the cilantro with some lime juice, salt and pepper. Slice avocado or make Mama’s favorite guacamole.
Heat your tacos on a hot cast iron skillet, adding a small amount of ghee/butter or olive oil, about 30-40 seconds on each side.
To assemble, spoon some of the chickpea filling on the tortilla. Add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. Top with the carrot slaw, avocados and garnish with fresh cilantro. Eat immediately!
