Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
step 2
Drain Chickpeas (1 can) and in a colander gently dry them with a paper towel.
step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the Chili Powder (1 tsp), Paprika (1/2 tsp), Ground Cumin (1/2 tsp), Simply Organic Garlic Powder (1/8 tsp), Salt (1/4 tsp), and Ground Black Pepper (1/8 tsp). Toss the chickpeas in the seasoning until evenly coated.
step 4
On a parchment-lined baking tray spread the chickpeas out in an even layer. Bake for 30-45 minutes, until brown and crunchy.
step 5
While the chickpeas are cooking, prepare the tortillas. Lightly grease a baking tray, then spray the tortillas with Nonstick Cooking Spray (as needed) or brush both sides of the 6-Inch Corn Tortillas (6) with oil.
step 6
Bake in the same oven for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Once crisp, remove from oven to cool down.
step 7
While the chickpeas finish baking, gently combine Cottage Cheese (1/2 cup), Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1 tsp), and Dried Oregano (1 tsp) in a mixing bowl.
step 8
Build the tostadas with a layer of spiced cottage cheese and top with the roasted chickpeas. Garnish with Fresh Cilantro Leaf (2/3 cup) and serve immediately.

What do I need to do if I want to use fresh chickpeas instead of canned ones?
