CHILI LIME CHICKPEAS RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat — lining the pan is not entirely necessary, but this does help with cleanup.
• In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with the oil, salt, chili powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Add the seasoned florets to the baking sheet. Spread them out, facing as many of the flatter edges down onto the baking sheet so that they brown nicely.
• Roast until the edges are crisp and brown and the insides are tender, 20 to 35 minutes. After 20 minutes, stir the cauliflower to promote even browning.
• Remove the cauliflower from the oven and toss with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
• Combine the crema (or sour cream) with a teaspoon of lime juice and a pinch of salt. Taste, and then add more lime juice as needed.
• Wrap tortillas, in two stacks, with aluminum foil. Place into the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until warm.
• Spread a tablespoon or so of mashed avocado onto each tortilla. Then add a handful of shredded cabbage, some roasted cauliflower, a drizzle of the lime crema, and any additional taco toppings — try pickled onions, crumbled or shredded cheese.

Steps:

• In a 4 quart pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the jalapenos and saute for 1 minute. Stir in the ground pork and cook until evenly brown. Remove the browned pork and jalapenos from the pot and set aside.
• In the same pot used to cook the meat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, butter, and onion. Cook for 2 minutes or until the onion starts to soften. Stir in the salt, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and black pepper and cook until the onion is soft. Mix in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring for three minutes. Slowly pour the enchilada sauce into the onion mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Mix in the green salsa and water.
• Return the cooked pork and jalapenos to the pot. Increase the heat to medium and slowly bring the soup to a boil. When the soup boils, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Before serving remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro and lime juice.
