Step 4

Cook tacos

  • Heat a frying pan over a medium high heat until hot
  • Drizzle a little oil into the pan and wipe with a paper towel so you have a very thin coating of oil on the pan
  • Add a heaped tbsp (roughly 1/6th) of the mixture to the centre of a tortilla
  • Flip into the pan, chickpea side down and press down with a burger press or saucepan base so the filling spreads evenly to the edges of the tortilla
  • Cook for a minute or two until the filling has formed a golden brown crust
  • Carefully flip the tortilla and cook for another minute
  • Remove from the pan, keep warm, and repeat with the remaining tortillas
