Taco Tuesdays!

Everybody loves tacos! So have your own "Taco Tuesday" even if it happens to be Thursday.

You're going to need a few things to start with:
-Taco Seasoning
-Chickpeas
-Canned Corn
-Tortillas and/or Taco shells
-Cheese
-Lettuce
-Sour Cream
-Guacamole
-Tomatoes
-1/2 an Onion
-Peppers (I like to use a mix of habeneros and jalapenos)






1. Wrap your tortillas in foil and throw them in the oven on 170°F. Take them out when the chickpeas are done and wrap the foil package in a kitchen towel.
2. Dice your tomatoes, onion and peppers. You can keep the onions and peppers together, but keep the tomatoes separate because this will be a topping when you build the tacos later.

3. In a pan, heat a little oil then add the onion and peppers. Cook until the onions are clear.

4. Drain one can of chickpeas and one can of corn. Add both of them the pan. Add one and a half spoonfuls of the taco seasoning along with salt and pepper to taste. Allow to cook on medium heat for ten minutes, stirring occasionally. A lot of the liquid should have dried up and you should have well seasoned 

5. Build your tacos using the seasoned chickpeas as a base.






Enjoy the tacos!
