Notes
- Ensure you drain and dry the chickpeas fully, as this will help them get crispy in the oven.
- Chickpeas can cook quickly when roasted in the oven, so keep an eye on them.
- The chipotle sauce can be made in advance and stored in the fridge until needed.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as necessary before adding it to the tacos. To taste, you may want to add more lime juice, salt, or pepper. Add more chipotle paste or adobo sauce to taste if you want a spicier sauce.
