How to make vegan chickpea tacos
Warm the taco shells according to the package directions.
Heat the vegetable broth in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chickpeas, nutritional yeast and taco seasoning.
Stir to combine and sauté until the liquid is absorbed.
Divide the chickpea mixture into the taco shells.
Add toppings of your choice, such as salsa (store-bought or try our 5-minute salsa), shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, cilantro, or guacamole (either store bought or try our 5-minute guacamole).
Can I make these tacos oil-free?
Yes, you can make these oil-free by using oil-free soft corn taco shells instead of the hard taco shells.
You can warm the soft taco shells on the stove-top, in the oven, or in the microwave according to package directions.
