Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- Broccoli florets
- Tortillas
- Olive oil
- Spices (cumin, paprika)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Avocado, sliced
- Salsa
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Drain and thoroughly pat dry the canned chickpeas using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This helps them become crispy during roasting.
- Chop broccoli florets into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure even roasting. Place chickpeas and broccoli on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle olive oil over the chickpeas and broccoli. Sprinkle cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly. Toss to coat all ingredients completely with the seasoning.
- Spread the chickpeas and broccoli in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows them to roast and become crispy rather than steaming.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Chickpeas should be crispy and broccoli should have golden edges.
- While vegetables are roasting, warm the tortillas. You can do this in a skillet, microwave, or directly over a gas flame for added flavor.
- Once roasted, remove the chickpeas and broccoli from the oven. Let them cool slightly for 2-3 minutes to prevent burning when assembling burritos.
- Assemble burritos by placing roasted chickpeas and broccoli in the center of each warm tortilla. Top with sliced avocado and salsa.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a secure burrito. Slice in half diagonally for easier eating.
- Serve immediately while warm, with additional salsa on the side if desired. Enjoy your nutritious and flavorful roasted chickpea and broccoli burritos!
Tips
- Crispy Chickpeas: Ensure your canned chickpeas are thoroughly dried before roasting. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect crunch!
- Even Roasting: Cut your broccoli into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. This way, every bite of your burrito will have the perfect texture.
- Spice it Up: Feel free to experiment with spices! Adding a pinch of chili powder or garlic powder can elevate the flavor profile of your roasted veggies.
- Tortilla Warming: Warm your tortillas in a skillet or over an open flame for a few seconds to enhance their flavor and make them more pliable for rolling.
- Assembly Line: Set up an assembly line when making multiple burritos. This will streamline the process and make it easier to create perfectly stuffed burritos.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your burritos with a side of extra salsa or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess and flavor.
