- In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once it’s shimmering (but not too hot to handle), toss in your rinsed garbanzo beans.
- Sprinkle in the cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Give it a good stir, and let those beans sizzle for about 5-7 minutes until they’re heated through and start to crisp up a little.
- While the garbanzos are doing their thing, warm the corn tortillas in another skillet or directly on the flame for that perfect charred goodness.
- Once the beans are ready, take your warm tortillas and load them up with a hearty scoop of the garbanzo mixture.
- Top with slices of avocado, diced red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Don’t forget a squeeze of lime juice! It’s like a burst of sunshine in every bite!
