Ingredients
- 1 batch green goddess dressing
- 1½ cups Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced or chopped
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 15- ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic (or garlic powder)
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 to 2 Tablespoons water
- 1 Tablespoon coconut aminos (or regular aminos)
- 4 to 6 corn tortillas
- ¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro
- 1 to 2 green onions, choppped
- 1 avocado, pitted and sliced
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional for heat: chopped jalapeno pepper or hot sauce
Instructions
- Start by making the yummy oil-free green goddess dressing according to recipe instructions. Then, set aside.
- Thinly slice the Brussels sprouts, green onion, and cilantro; set aside.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and dry sauté onion for about 2 minutes. Add drained chickpeas to the pan and cook for 2 minutes to heat through. Stir in dried spices; the heat will release the flavor and aroma. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to keep the spices from sticking to the pan. Add in coconut aminos, stir to incorporate, and turn off the heat.
- Just before serving, warm corn tortillas over a low flame for 10 to 20 seconds or in a hot cast iron skillet.
- Assemble your tacos by adding the chickpea mixture to the corn tortillas as the base, then top with thinly sliced Brussels sprouts, green onion, fresh chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Then drizzle a generous helping of the oil-free green goddess dressing and enjoy!
Notes
- Warm Tortillas: Another option for warming tortillas is the microwave. Place corn tortillas on a plate, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 20 to 30 seconds.
- Meal Prep: If you're meal-prepping these green goddess tacos, store the toppings (thinly sliced Brussels sprouts, chopped green onion, cilantro, and avocado), the prepared chickpea mixture, and corn tortillas separately. When you're ready to eat the tacos for that weeknight dinner, you can warm up the chickpea mixture and tortillas and then top with the veggies, avocado, and green goddess sauce.
