May 08, 2018

Who needs chicken when you can make our Chickpea Fajitas? Tender, hearty, and with a hint of crunch, baked chickpeas lend appealing nuttiness and a protein boost to this plant-powered take on classic fajitas. Strips of bright bell peppers, zucchini and red onion add a vitamin-loaded burst of colour to this easy, satisfying dish.
Don’t have fresh? Frozen fajita veggie mix is a freezer staple that will have you ready to whip up this dish on a whim. Hold heaping helpings of Mexican flavour together with our soft and tasty Sprouted Power™ Tortillas. Top our Chickpea Fajitas with your favourite toppings. Guacamole, salsa, non-dairy sour cream, green onions, and cilantro are all fair game. Fiesta!
