Description
This healthy and protein-rich chickpea recipe, inspired by classic ceviche, is a fresh, zesty, and flavorful plant-based dish that’s easy to make and perfect for sharing.
Ingredients
- 2 cans garbanzo beans (14 oz each), drained and rinsed
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (or more to taste)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 3–4 limes)
- 3 fresh Roma tomatoes, diced with juices
- 4 fresh jalapeños, diced (use less for milder heat)
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- 1 cucumber, peeled and cut into small pieces
- 2 ripe avocados, diced (optional)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare all the ingredients and add them to a large mixing bowl.
2. Gently mix everything together until well combined.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop.
4. Taste and adjust with additional salt, pepper, lime juice, or optional Sriracha or hot sauce if desired.
5. Serve chilled in bowls with tortilla chips or spooned over tostadas.
Notes
For best flavor, let the chickpeas marinate overnight so they fully absorb the citrus and spice.
Add the avocado just before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
