Ingredients
Scale
Chickpeas & Roasting Mix
- 1 can Chickpeas
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Tamari Soy Sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon Maple Syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Roasted Vegetables
- 1 cup Cherry Tomato
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 clove Garlic
Scrambled Tofu
- 1 package Firm Silken Tofu
- 1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
- 2 tablespoons Hummus
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Turmeric
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Ground Black Pepper
Assembly
- 6 Flour Tortillas
- Optional garnishes: avocado, parsley, lime juice, dairy-free yogurt, sliced radishes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to prepare for roasting chickpeas and cherry tomatoes.
- Prepare Chickpeas: Pat dry the canned chickpeas thoroughly with paper towels. In a bowl, combine chickpeas with olive oil, tamari soy sauce, sriracha, maple syrup, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly. Spread the chickpeas on one half of a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Prepare Tomatoes: In a separate bowl, toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil and minced garlic. Spread the tomatoes on the other half of the same baking sheet, keeping them separate from the chickpeas.
- Roast Chickpeas and Tomatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, or until the chickpeas turn crispy and the cherry tomatoes have burst and are tender.
- Cook Scrambled Tofu: While the chickpeas and tomatoes bake, add the firm silken tofu, nutritional yeast, hummus, ground turmeric, salt, and ground black pepper to a large greased or non-stick skillet. Using a spatula, roughly break up the tofu. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to brown slightly and resembles scrambled eggs.
- Assemble Tacos: Warm the flour tortillas. Evenly distribute the scrambled tofu, crispy roasted chickpeas, and burst cherry tomatoes onto each tortilla. Garnish with desired toppings such as sliced avocado, fresh parsley, a squeeze of lime juice, dairy-free yogurt, and sliced radishes for extra freshness and texture.
Notes
- For gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with corn tortillas or gluten-free wraps.
