Taco Recipe

Happy Taco Tuesday! That's a thing in this household and after documenting it through photographic proof through my social media platforms the last while, I've had a few requests for a taco recipe.. so here it is! This recipe is obviously vegetarian, but not really; it's the spice mix that is really what it's all about it... so feel free to use it with whatever you fancy, whether it is chickpeas (like this recipe), black beans, ground beef, ground turkey, whatever... it's flexible, just like eating should be :)

This recipe makes about 4 servings, but I like to make a big batch of the spice mix (like 10x the recipe) and keep in a container, so I don't have to make it again every time.
