1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 head of butter or romaine lettuce, leaves separated

1 avocado, diced

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well until the chickpeas are evenly coated with spices.

    Cook the Chickpeas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chickpeas and sauté for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy. Add lime juice in the last minute of cooking for an added zing.

      Assemble the Tacos: Take a lettuce leaf and spoon a generous amount of the spicy chickpea mixture into the center. Top with diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and fresh cilantro.

        Serve: Serve the lettuce tacos with lime wedges on the side for a burst of citrus.
