    I made these tacos a while back as a quick and easy way to celebrate Taco Tuesday.

    Or Wednesday.

    Or Everyday. Because TACOS. (duh)

    Spiced Chickpea Tacos with Cilantro-Peach Relish

    These beauties are a snap to put together, and totally vegan! They were fresh and filling, and my husband and I gobbled them up. I loved the combo of sweet and spicy, and the fresh peaches were absolutely scrumptious!

    The next day, I made a salad with the leftovers by throwing the chickpeas and relish on top of some cooked bulgur, and it was fantastic!
