Chickpea, Spinach, Feta, and Pepita Tacos
- 3 or 4 corn tortillas, preferably homemade (page 84)
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ancho chile
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 small shallot lobe, thinly sliced
- 1 small tomato, chopped (or substitute 1/3 cup canned crushed tomatoes in their juices)
- 1/3 cup cooked chickpeas, preferably homemade (page 47), drained and rinsed
- 3/4 cup lightly packed spinach leaves, stacked, rolled, and thinly sliced
- Kosher or sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 avocado, peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks
- 1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- Hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
- 1/2 lime
- Warm the tortillas (see page 81) and wrap them in aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Pour the oil into a medium skillet over medium heat.
- When the oil starts to shimmer, add the ground ancho, stir to combine, and cook until it sizzles and becomes very fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the garlic and shallot and cook until the vegetables start to soften and slightly brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato and chickpeas and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomato softens and starts to break down.
- Add the spinach and cook until the spinach wilts, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay the tortillas out on a plate and divide the chickpea-spinach mixture among them.
- Top with the avocado and feta and sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds.
- Dash a little Tabasco on each taco, squeeze the lime over them, and eat.
