Spicy Chickpea Tostadas
Report
I've been munching on these Chickpea Tostadas all week! Adding some chipotle gives them great flavor and you don't need much beyond that.

Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas aka garbanzo beans
- 1/2 onion small
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 chipotles in adobo
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- black pepper freshly cracked
- 1/2 cup stock or water
For the Tostadas:
- 6-8 tostada shells
- 1 avocado
- jalapeños pickled
- queso fresco
- cilantro freshly chopped
Instructions
- Start by peeling the garlic clove and roughly chopping 1/2 onion. Cook the onion and garlic in a glug of oil over medium heat (you can leave the garlic clove whole).
- Once the onion is starting to brown, approximately 5-8 minutes, add 1 can chickpeas (drained and rinsed), 2 chipotles in adobo, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and 1/2 cup stock (or water). Let simmer for a few minutes until heated through and then add everything to a blender, combining well.
- Take a taste for seasoning and heat. I added another generous pinch of salt and cumin to this batch, but I was happy with the heat level.
- For the tostadas you can warm up store-bought tostada shells or bake your own. Then simply add a layer of the chickpea puree, diced avocado, pickled jalapenos, Queso Fresco, and some freshly chopped cilantro. Serve immediately. Keep in mind that you can customize the tostadas to your palate (and based on what's in the kitchen!).
- Store leftover chickpea puree in an airtight container in the fridge where it will keep for a few days.
Notes
- Here's more information on working with chipotles in adobo.
- For a milder version, start with a single chipotle and take a taste. If you want more heat simply add another half chipotle and keep adding more until it tastes right to you.
