Roasted Chickpea Taco Salad

I need to do a little reset this weekend and knew I needed to eat something full of good stuff. I was kind of low on food here at the end of the week so I tried to come up with something with the foods I already had at home. I had a lot of extra kale left over from the other meals I made this week (I also bought a ton because it was so cheap this week) so I was able to add a little bit of freshness to this meal as well. This meal is so easy to make and is vegan friendly.

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

•  1 Cup white rice
•  2 Cups kale
• 2 Cans of chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
• 2 Ripe avocados
• 1/4 Cup taco seasoning (I prefer the taco seasoning made by “Wildtree”)
• Sriracha – to taste (or none at all if you aren’t into spice)
• Taco Sauce

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• While the oven is preheating, put the two cans of chickpeas into a mixing bowl. Add the taco seasoning and Sriracha. Mix together and spread on a baking sheet evenly.
• While the  chickpeas are roasting,  begin cooking the rice.
• While the rice is cooking, steam the kale.
• Cut the avocados into bite sized cubes
• Put the rice, kale, and chickpeas in a bowl. Top it with your favorite taco sauce!

…and enjoy!
