Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 veggies or blue corn tortillas
- 1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked
- 1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon kalonji (nigella seeds)
- 1 mini cucumber, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy yogurt
- ½ cup arugula
- ½ lemon
- 1 tomato, sliced
- ¼ cup corn
- The following spices: 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon red chili powder, 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
Directions
- Grind the soaked chickpeas, tahini, peas, sunflower seeds, spices (salt, chili powder, nutritional yeast, fennel seeds), kalonji (nigella seeds), and ground flaxseed in a blender or food processor until it has a rough paste-like consistency.
- I ran out of hemp seeds but I usually add them in along with the sunflower seeds…
- In a medium-hot saucepan, add ½ tablespoon of oil and wait until it is heated.
- While the oil is heating, spread 1 scoop of the chickpea mixture evenly onto a blue corn tortilla.
- Once the oil is hot, place the tortilla with the chickpea mix side down in the pan.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom of the tortilla is crispy and golden brown.
- Flip the tortilla and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until the tortilla is fully heated and slightly crispy.
- Spread a layer of soy yogurt on one side of the tortilla. Add sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and arugula on top. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the vegetables to taste.
- Fold the tortilla in half and serve hot. Enjoy!
