Chickpea and Sweet Potato Tacos
Ingredients:
- 8 small tortillas
- 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced

- 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil

- Add the chickpeas to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until heated through.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the oven.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a scoop of the chickpea mixture onto each tortilla. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, sliced avocado, fresh salsa, and cilantro.
