Chickpea Gyro
Quick and easy weekday meal!
Introduction
Ingredients
- 1 head of romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1-2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
- 1-2 cups cucumber, chopped
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and loosely chopped
- 1/2 cup tzaztiki
- Naan bread (I used store bought but you can absolutely make your own!)
- 1 can of chickpeas
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
1. Start by rinsing canned chickpeas and lay out on a tea towel to dry – this step will help get the chickpeas nice and crispy
2. On medium heat, add 1 tbsp of olive oil to the skillet. Add in the chickpeas and a dash of salt and pepper. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring frequently so the chickpeas don’t burn.
3. Add in the oregano, cumin, garlic powder, paprika and 1/4 tsp sea salt & 1/4 tsp pepper. Continue cooking for 2-3 more minutes. Remove from pan and place in a bowl lined with paper towel to soak any excess oil.
4. While the chickpeas are cooking, wash and cut your vegetables – tomato, cucumber, onion, olives and jalapenos
5. In the same pan you roasted the chickpeas, add a touch more olive oil and lightly toast the naan bread, a few minutes on each side until golden brown
6. Build your gyro! On warm naan, spread a generous dollop of tzatziki – add chickpeas, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, olives, onion, and a few jalapenos. Top with feta cheese and a sprinkle of dried oregano!
