Ingredients

- 6 chickpeas
- 8 corn tortillas
- 2 limes, juiced
- 2 tbsp waters
- 1 tbsp maple syrup

Make it
Instructions
- 01
Roast the chickpeas
Heat the oven to 220°C/425°F. Pat the drained chickpeas very dry, then toss them with olive oil and salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, shaking the pan halfway through, until browned and crisp at the edges, 20 minutes.
- 02
Make the lime cabbage
While the chickpeas roast, combine the shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Toss well and set aside so the cabbage softens slightly while staying crunchy.
- 03
Stir the lime yogurt
Stir the Greek yogurt with the juice of the remaining lime and salt until smooth. If it is thicker than you like, loosen it with water.
- 04
Glaze the chickpeas
Whisk the gochujang, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and water in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the roasted chickpeas and toss until the sauce clings to them and looks glossy, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Warm and assemble the tacos
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, turning once, until pliable and lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Fill each tortilla with cabbage, glazed chickpeas, and lime yogurt. Sprinkle with the remaining cilantro and serve immediately.
