Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 553kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cans chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 2 tsp olive oil separated
- 1/2 tsp salt separated
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 2 bell peppers (colors of your choice) sliced
- 1 yellow onion sliced
- Tortillas and desired toppings
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Drain the cans of chickpeas and rinse them under the sink inside a colander.
- Spread on a paper towel and pat them dry. Some skins may fall off, that's okay! Just remove the skins that detached.
- Transfer the chickpeas to a sheet pan. Drizzle on 1 tsp of olive oil and 1/4 tsp of salt. Mix to combine.
- Roast in the oven for 25 minutes.
- Before the chickpeas are finished, cook the vegetables. Heat up the other 1 tsp of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Add in the sliced bell peppers and onions and sprinkle in the paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and the other 1/4 tsp of salt. Mix to combine.
- Cook in the skillet for five minutes, stirring occassionally.
- Serve each fajita with a scoop of the roasted chickpeas, some peppers and onions, and any other desired toppings in your tortillas. My preferred toppings of choice are taco sauce, avocado slices, and cilantro.
