Everybody Loves Sheet Pan Chickpea Tacos

Tacos are an easy dinner to make to please everyone in the family. If one kid doesn’t like onion, leave those out. Don’t do spicy? No jalapenos.

It is also easy to add extra flavor with oven roasted salsa, pico de gallo or guacamole. Custom tacos sound fancy, but couldn’t be easier.

How about making a whole Plant-Based Taco Bar by adding Lentil Taco Filling and more toppings to choose from? If you don’t have tortillas on hand, try rolling this vegetable mixture into a wrap. You could also create a bowl with rice or quinoa.

Remember the more colors of the rainbow you eat, the more nutrients you consume. What will you put on your sheet pan chickpea and sweet potato tacos?
