Chickpea Tacos

Turns out, tacos don’t have to be hot to be delicious. The chickpea-avocado mash used as a filling here is prepared and served at room temperature. (It makes a great sandwich spread as well.) Because the fat content of taco shells can vary, look for brands that contain approximately 6 grams or fewer per shell. Vegetarian Times Issue: March 1, 2008 p.36

Very good- tasted basically just like guacamole but the chickpeas added a nice, new texture and didn't seem to affect the taste too much. I used 2 avocadoes to 1 can of chickpeas and mashed it all together with a potato masher. Also served on some toasted crusty rolls for a sandwich and put some crumbled fake "sausage" on top (using up some leftovers). Very, very simple and very easy to throw together. But again, tastes just like guacamole because... it IS guacamole.
