Ingredients: 

• 2 medium whole wheat tortillas 

• 1 cup of canned garbanzo beans/chickpeas, drained and rinsed 

• 1/2 cup chopped spinach 

• 1/2 red onion, sliced 

• 1 tomato, diced

• 1/2 English cucumber, diced 

• 1 garlic clove, minced 

• 1/4 cup crumbled feta

• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

• 2 lemon wedges 

•  Oil (~3 tsp.)

• 1/2 tsp. each of turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, black pepper, all spice, onion powder 

• Optional: 2 tbsp. tzatziki sauce 

​

Directions: 

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C. Drain, rinse and pat dry the chickpeas. Toss them onto a baking sheet along with the spices, some oil and garlic(mix to coat all chickpeas). On a pizza baking pan, place the 2 tortillas, spray/drizzle 1 tsp. of oil on each and make 2-3 holes in the center with a fork.  Bake the chickpeas for about 10 minutes, tossing in between time and the tortillas for 3 minutes per side or until the edges turn golden brown.

2. Once the tortillas and chickpeas are done and cool off a bit, spread a layer of hummus on each tortilla. Then, top them with the veggies and chickpeas. 

3. Lastly, squeeze some lemon juice and sprinkle over feta and cilantro.  You can also drizzle some tzatziki sauce over the tostada and enjoy!
