ELOTES & ROASTED CHICKPEA TACOS

INGREDIENTS

4 ears fresh corn, husked

1 teaspoon (5 mL) extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons (30 mL) adobo sauce from canned chipotles in adobo sauce

⅓ cup (75 mL) crumbled cotija or feta cheese

⅓ cup (75 mL) chopped cilantro, plus a few sprigs for garnish

Juice of ½ lime

1 cup (250 mL) cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed

8 whole wheat flour tortillas, warmed or grilled

Lime wedges, for serving

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Sriracha (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the corn with ½ teaspoon of olive oil and grill, about 2 minutes per side, rotating it until the kernels on all sides are tender and a few char marks form, about 10 minutes.

Remove the corn from the heat and brush with the adobo sauce. Use a knife to slice the kernels off the cob. Toss with the crumbled cheese, cilantro, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste.

In a small skillet, heat ½ teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chickpeas, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes, shaking the pan to rotate them occasionally.

Fill each tortilla with the corn, chickpeas, and cilantro sprigs. Serve with lime wedges and sriracha, if desired, on the side.
