Instructions

Chickpea Potato Mix

  • Peel and dice the sweet potato into cubes of 1 cm or ½ an inch approximately.
  • In a medium sized non-stick pan over medium heat add the olive oil and water.

Yogurt Dip

  • Blend or process the yogurt, jalapeño and garlic powder. Alternatively, you can finely dice the jalapeño and mix with the yogurt and garlic powder. Season with salt per taste. Slice the rest of the jalapeño and rest until needed.

Pico de Gallo

  • Finely mince the tomato and the white onion. Add them to a small bowl along with the juice of 1 lemon and salt to taste. Mix and rest until needed.

To Serve

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, toast tortillas in a single layer, turning halfway through, until warmed through, about 1 minute total.
  • Immediately serve tacos with golden sweet potato and chickpeas, sliced avocado, pico de gallo, cilantro leaves, sprinkle pumpkin seeds, sliced jalapeño, lemon wedges and yogurt jalapeño mix.
