Recipe: Chickpea and Chipotle Tostados

Chickpea & Chipotle Tostados

Here is a recipe I recently made - a more healthy twist on Taco Tuesday going meatless. :)

1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cans (15 oz each), rinsed
1 cup vegetable broth
2 minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
2 tbsp. lime juice
12 corn tortillas or tostados

Toppings:
lettuce
diced tomatoes
avocado
sour cream
salsa verde
shredded cheddar cheese

In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, cook and stir the red pepper and onion until tender - about 6-8 minutes.  Add the garlic and cook 1 more minute.

Stir in the next five ingredients.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat.  Cover and simmer five minutes.

Coarsely mash the mixture with a potato masher.  Stir in the cilantro and lime juice.  Cook until thickened.

Spritz the tortillas with cooking spray and broil until crisp.  (Or just use pre-made tostados)

Spread chickpea mixture over tortillas.  Top with desired toppings.

Enjoy!
