This is going to sound so weird but I had daydreams about this meal for about 2 days before actually making it. I knew it was going to be avocados and chickpeas, for sure, since I had just received some of the most gorgeous avocados from my CSA, but what form would it take? Did I want it to just be a salad? No, it needed to be a little heartier, but still light. Sandwiches? No, not in the mood. Wraps? No, we’ve been doing those a lot recently. By the end of the first day of daydreams, I had settled on tacos. They seemed like the perfect, light, crisp vessel to transport this salad to my mouth. These tacos were better than I had imagined they would be. The light, crisp corn tacos provided the perfect balance to the rich, savory, lime-infused, mashed chickpeas and avocado. They were so good, I continued to daydream about them the next day and had to make another batch for dinner that night. And the next night. These tacos are now in our weekly rotation.
