Ingredients
For the Cucumber Raita
- 1/2 cup yogurt use vegan Greek yogurt for a vegan version, plain, Greek
- 1/4 cup cucumber such as Persian or English, seedless, finely diced
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
- salt to taste
For the Chickpea Tacos
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 14.5 ounce can chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
- 1 cup leek white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 4 soft tortilla taco boats or flour or corn tortillas, Old El Paso brand
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt and cumin. Fold in the cucumber and cilantro (reserving some for garnish, if desired), then taste and add salt as needed to create the cucumber raita.
- Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chickpeas and leek. Fry until the leeks separate and the chickpeas are lightly browned, 3-4 minutes. Add the raisins, garam masala, and ½ cup water. Stir well; sauté until the water has evaporated, about 2-3 minutes.
- Divide the chickpea mixture into the soft taco boats. Top with a generous dollop of cucumber raita. Garnish with cilantro if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Store leftover Chickpea Tacos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can freeze the chickpea mixture for up to 2 months; thaw in the fridge before reheating.
- Reheat the chickpea mixture in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Assemble the tacos with fresh raita just before serving to maintain the best texture and flavor.
