Serving Suggestions
These chickpea fajitas pack serious protein but are also really easy to make for an awesome weeknight meal – one that’s a nice switch-up from your other taco night ideas.
If you want to level up your chickpea fajitas, here are tons of serving ideas.
1. Add Some Avocado
Slice up fresh avocado to top your fajitas, a tastebud-pleaser that will go well with the spice of the chickpeas.
The avocado creaminess balances out the tastebud experience created by the chickpeas.
2. Make It Vegan
For a vegan version, swap sour cream and cheese (or leave them off) for dairy-free equivalents, and use the corn tortillas rather than flour.
3. Spice It Up
If you like a little heat, add a little hot sauce or even some jalapenos to your fajitas. Since the chickpeas are pretty mild, they are good with spicy ingredients.
4. Serve with Fresh Salsa
To make this meal even better whip up some fresh salsa with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice, and fresh chilies!
5. Pair with Rice
If you are looking to complete your meal, rice is just it! Rice is a great side to serve with or mix in with your fajitas.
6. Top with Guacamole
Add avocado slices for extra creamy goodness and flavor – either make some yourself at home or grab some store-bought guacamole for a quicknight meal.
