Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients: 400g Chickpeas; 1 tblsp Olive Oil; pinch Paprika; 2 small cut chunks Tomatoes; 1 finely sliced Red Onions; 2 tsp Red Wine Vinegar; 1 Avocado; Juice of 1 Lime; Chopped Lime; 100g Sour Cream; 2 tsp Harissa Spice; 4 Corn Tortillas; to serve Coriander

Crispy roasted chickpeas take center stage in these spicy, smoky fajitas, their nutty crunch perfectly balanced by tender sautéed peppers and onions. A quick-pickled tomato-onion relish adds a bright, tangy contrast, while charred tortillas lend a subtle, toasty depth. The dish delivers bold Southwestern flavors without meat, making it a hearty, plant-based weeknight dinner that’s as satisfying as it is vibrant.

Directions

1
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a baking tray with foil. Drain the chickpeas, pat dry and tip onto the prepared baking tray. Add the oil and paprika, toss to coat, then roast for 20-25 mins until browned and crisp, shaking halfway through cooking.
2
Meanwhile, put the tomatoes and onion in a small bowl with the vinegar and set aside to pickle. Put the avocado in another bowl and mash with a fork, leaving some larger chunks. Stir in the lime juice and season well. Mix the soured cream with the harissa and set aside until ready to serve.
3
Heat a griddle pan until nearly smoking. Add the tortillas , one at a time, charring each side until hot with griddle lines.
4
Put everything on the table and build the fajitas : spread a little of the harissa cream over the tortilla, top with roasted chickpeas, guacamole, pickled salsa and coriander, if you like. Serve with the lime wedges for squeezing over.
