Ingredients

Peach Salsa

  • 2 cups peaches, diced
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • ¼ cup roughly chopped cilantro
  • Juice from ½ lime
  • ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper

Teriyaki Chickpeas

  • 1 cup water
  • ¼ cup tamari
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • ½ tsp grated ginger
  • 2 tbsp corn starch
  • ¼ cup water
  • One 15 oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Other

  • 6-8 corn tortillas
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the peach salsa. Add all ingredients to a bowl. Stir to combine. Adjust taste with more salt or lime juice, as desired. Refrigerate while preparing the teriyaki sauce. 

  2. In a medium saucepan, add the water, tamari, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. In a small bowl, whisk together the corn starch with ¼ of water. Whisk the corn starch slurry into the sauce. Bring the mixture up to a low boil and simmer for 5-6 minutes until thickened and sauce coats the back of a spoon. 

  3. Once the sauce has thickened, add the rinsed and drained chickpeas. Stir to fully coat the chickpeas in the sauce. Bring mixture back up to a low boil then take off the heat. Use a slotted spoon to transfer chickpeas to a bowl. Save the remaining teriyaki sauce in a glass jar for later use. 

  4. Heat corn tortillas either in an oven or over an open flame. To serve, add a few spoonfuls of teriyaki glazed chickpeas to a corn tortilla. Top with peach salsa. Serve tacos with a fresh lime wedge. 

  5. Separetely store leftover chickpeas and peach salsa in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
