Quick & easy chickpea tacos with red cabbage slaw and pico de gallo
Happy Taco Tuesday! I want to start a series of recipes that take twenty minutes or less and this is the inaugural recipe. I love to spend time cooking, it's super relaxing and stress-relieving for me, but sometimes it's nice to have some recipes on hand that can be thrown together quickly and easily. And, if you double the recipe, this is totally meal prep friendly. I'm really excited about these tacos, they're simple, but full of flavour!
This recipe is vegan, gluten free, and refined sugar free.

I like to add sriracha to my taco
If I could find good avocados this time of year, I would definitely be adding guac
