Ingredients

  • Chickpeas (400g)
  • Corn Tortillas (4)
  • Olive Oil (1 tbsp)
  • Paprika (pinch)
  • Tomatoes (2 small, cut into chunks)
  • Red Onions (1, finely sliced)
  • Red Wine Vinegar (2 tsp)
  • Avocado (1)
  • Lime (Juice of 1)
  • Sour Cream (100g)
  • Harissa Spice (2 tsp)
  • Coriander (to serve)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or gas mark 6, and line a baking tray with foil.
  2. Drain and pat dry chickpeas, then place them onto the prepared baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of paprika, tossing to coat evenly. Roast for 20-25 minutes until browned and crispy, shaking the tray halfway through.
  3. While the chickpeas roast, combine tomatoes and red onion in a bowl with red wine vinegar and let them pickle for a while.
  4. In another bowl, mash avocado with a fork, leaving some chunks, and mix in the juice of 1 lime. Season to taste.
  5. In a small bowl, mix sour cream with harissa spice and set aside.
  6. Heat a griddle pan until it's nearly smoking. Warm each corn tortilla one at a time, charring both sides until hot and marked with griddle lines.
  7. Serve everything at the table for assembling: spread some harissa cream on each tortilla, then top with roasted chickpeas, guacamole, pickled salsa, and fresh coriander. Include lime wedges for squeezing on top.
