Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crispy Chickpeas
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread the rinsed and dried chickpeas on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes or until the chickpeas turn golden and crispy, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
Step 2: Coat the Chickpeas in Maple Dijon Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt.
- Once the chickpeas are out of the oven, toss them immediately in the maple Dijon glaze to coat evenly.
Step 3: Make the Tahini Slaw
- In a bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Slowly whisk in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches a creamy but pourable consistency.
- Add the shredded cabbage and grated carrot to the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: Warm the Tortillas
- Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side, or until lightly charred.
- Alternatively, wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften.
Step 5: Assemble the Tacos
- Add a generous spoonful of the tahini slaw to each tortilla.
- Top with the crispy maple Dijon chickpeas.
- Add avocado slices and garnish with fresh cilantro.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
