These chickpea scramble breakfast tacos are so good, y’all. For some reason, it’s easy to get stuck in a rut when you try to eat healthy where every single morning is a smoothie and there don’t seem to be any other options– especially if you’re trying to avoid grain. But my husband is a breakfast man and he gets grumpy if we do too long on the smoothie train without a breakfast meal every once in awhile. These are so easy and so delicious. I hope you’ll give them a shot. If you cook the chickpeas yourself, over cook them a little and the texture of this dish will be amazing. But even if you use canned chickpeas it will work out wonderfully.
You can find the tortillas I love here: Siete Cassava & Coconut Tortillas.
