Instant Pot Chickpea Tacos

Servings: 4
Author: Brittany Williams

Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cup of Dry Chickpeas soaked overnight
  • Broth or Water
  • 1/4 cup of Oil Extra virgin olive, Avocado, Coconut
  • 8 Organic Corn Tortillas
  • 1 Jalapeno Pepper diced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup Taco Seasoning
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato

Instructions

  • Rinse and drain chickpeas. Add chickpeas to your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Barely cover with broth or water. I like to use my Instant Pot Vegetable or Chicken broth. (I usually cook 16 ounces of chickpeas at a time but 1 1/3 cup is all you need for this recipe. You can store the excess in the refrigerator, they freeze well too!)
  • Place the lid on the pot. Make sure the pressure valve is in the SEALING position.
  • Using the display panel select the MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK function. +/- the time to 24 minutes.
  • When the pot is finished let it naturally release the pressure, about 30 minutes.
  • Rinse and drain the chickpeas, set aside.
  • Preheat a cast iron skillet or your Instant Pot using the Sauté function. When HOT add 1/4 cup of oil.
  • Gently fold a corn tortilla into a taco shape, using tongs hold one half of the tortilla in the oil and let it brown, when it's done repeat with the other side. Let cool on paper towels.
  • Once you've made all of your shells add chickpeas and diced jalapeño to the remainder of the oil, sauté. Once everything softens add the taco seasoning. (Add a couple tablespoons of water, if needed to help absorb the seasoning.)
  •  Mash chickpeas to form more of a ground meat consistency.
  • Serve inside a taco shell with favorite taco fixings. Enjoy!
