BBQ Chickpea Tacos

This is one that we pretty much just made up on the fly. It's extremely easy and extremely delicious. Something about summer makes me want crazy tacos.  That and Leinenkugel's. We tend to use chickpeas as a substitute for meat in a lot of things, so that's why we said, why not soak them in bbq sauce and put them tacos?! 

Ingredients
1 can chickpeas
BBQ sauce as desired
Coleslaw
Tortilla shells

Recipe:
Drain and rinse off the chickpeas and warm them up in a skillet. We added a little bit of flavored EVOO, but it's not necessary. Add your desired BBQ sauce and amount and make sure they have a good coating. 

Then serve on some tortilla shells with a scoop of coleslaw on top. Simple, easy, and quick.


I feel like there should be some sort of sauce on here or something, so if you have a good thought, post it in the comments!

This is also similar to the bbq chickpea pizza that we make quite often. I'll throw that up here at some point too.

Egg Bagel Sandwich with Cilantro-based Pesto

This is a bit of our own making.  I think Sarah found a recipe for the Cilantro-Based Pesto, but we needed something to put it on. We originally put it on a tortilla shell with some warm black beans, and sprinkled some cheese on it.  That's a really good quick dinner/lunch that can be done with the left overs. 

Ingredients:
2 cups Cilantro
2/3 cup almonds
2-3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup veggie broth (or water)

Recipe:
Food process all ingredients until mostly smooth. If creating the breakfast bagel sandwich, toast the bagel of your choice (we used everything bagels), cook a semi-over easy egg, and top with a sprinkle of cheese.

For black bean tacos, spread some pesto on a tortilla, place some warm black beans, and sprinkle with cheese.
