Sometimes the best recipe ideas come to me when I'm limited on ingredients in the house. This was one of those times I forgot to take meat out to thaw and my fridge was running practically empty. Using a can of chickpeas, some seasonings, cheese, sour cream and tortillas, I was able to make these delicious vegetarian chickpea tostadas.
Chickpeas are a great alternative to vegetable or tofu tacos/tostadas and are packed with protein. While I am not a vegetarian, I thoroughly enjoyed these as a change! Feel free to adjust the spice level to you preference.
