Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. In a bag, mix the chickpeas, 2 Tbsp oil, and a couple dashes from the taco seasoning packet. Spread into a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20 min or until crispy.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, saute onion, 1 bell pepper, and 1 jalapeno. Stir in the chicken, can of diced chilis, salsa, the other bell pepper, and rest of the taco seasoning and let simmer on low heat.

Step 3

Spoon equal amounts of refried beans into the bottom of each taco shell, then add the chicken mixture to the taco. Lightly grease a 9x13 oven-safe baking dish then place the tacos into the dish. Top with Mexican blend cheese.

Step 4

If the chickpeas are still roasting, this is a good time to start cooking Spanish rice, slicing avocados, and prepping other toppings.

Step 5

When chickpeas are finished, wait for the oven to cool and set to 350 degrees.

Step 6

Bake the tacos in the baking dish for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Garnish with diced jalapeno, cilantro, lime, and/or any other topping.
