Buffalo Chickpea Soft Tacos with Avocado Sour Cream

I’ve drenched tofu and soy curls in sriracha and Earth Balance before, and decided I’d try it again this past week but with chickpeas instead. So they went straight into a crockpot to baste in some buffalo sauce and a few other ingredients for a few hours, while I mashed together  fresh avocado with some vegan sour cream to serve on the side. This tasted fantastic right out of the crockpot inside a soft tortilla, but was even better the next day served as leftovers, once all of the filling ingredients had a chance to mingle just a bit more.

    Yum! I love chickpeas in tacos, and anything with 1/4 c of Sriracha has to be good! Can't wait to give this a try.

    This is the kind of food I eat ALL the time. I will stuff anything into a tortilla but your buffalo chickpeas sound like a new favorite. I usually don't like the taste of Tofutti SC but bet it taste a lot better with an avocado mixed in!

    Wow, this is AWESOME! I don't have a crockpot, so I threw the things that would go in it into a medium-sized pot instead. (I also replaced the buttery spread with coconut oil.) I brought it to a simmer, then kept it at a simmer for about 20+ minutes, stirring every few minutes so the stuff wouldn't stick. I will definitely be making this again. I also used 3/4 cup dried beans and cooked them in my rice cooker, instead of canned beans. Yummy!!! I wish I had doubled the recipe and will do so next time.

    These were absolutely amazing! I did a little tweaking, I used cilantro instead of parsley and I added 2 tbs of garlic. I didn't mash the avocado all the way, I sued a large avocado and left it chunky. But seriously this is now one of my favorite and easy dishes. Thank you so much for sharing this. Love love love it!
