A quick and nutritious weeknight meal featuring hearty chickpeas and black beans topped with a creamy avocado lime slaw.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 tbsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the chickpeas, black beans, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Stir frequently and cook for about 5–7 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy.
  3. Combine the mashed avocado, shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Mix until evenly coated to create the slaw.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 30 seconds until pliable.

  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful textures and flavors.

Notes

Ensure avocados are ripe for maximum creaminess and rinse beans to reduce excess sodium.
