Avocados. I heart you. There’s seriously nothing you can’t do when you’ve got a couple avocados. They are on my grocery list every week. And good thing, because this week I didn’t feel much like cooking a big breakfast (or lunch) so I thought to myself, ‘what can I make that is easy, uses up those leftover chickpeas I had in my tacos the other night, and is healthy?’ Boom. Mexican Chickpea Avocado Boats. Done and done. So it works great if you have leftover chickpeas, but it’s really not all that difficult to make with fresh ones… and then you can just reverse the leftover process by having leftover chickpeas for your tacos later on or the next day! Now that’s great meal planning if you ask me. Let’s rock this boat!
