Mexican

Tinga is a Mexican dish of succulent stewed shredded meat. Our meatless version features chickpeas sauteed until crisp and browned and then simmered in a smoky spiced tomato-chili sauce; they’re served wrapped in warm tortillas with Monterey Jack, tangy pickled shallot, a drizzle of crema, and a squeeze of lime. A perfect meatless Monday—or any day of the week—dinner idea.

Preparation
1
Prep

• Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and very thinly slice shallot. Drain and rinse chickpeas. Core, deseed, and finely chop green pepper. Quarter lime. Dice tomato.

2
Pickle Shallot

• In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, half the shallot, 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings), a pinch of salt, and 1 TBSP water until sugar and salt are mostly dissolved. • Set aside to pickle, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve.

3
Cook Chickpeas

• Pat chickpeas dry with paper towels; season with half the Southwest Spice Blend (you’ll use the rest in the next step), salt, and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chickpeas and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisped, 4-5 minutes. • Transfer to a second medium bowl.

4
Make Filling

• Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper and remaining shallot; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Return chickpeas to pan and stir in tomato paste, stock concentrate, remaining Southwest Spice Blend, and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until chickpeas are coated in a thick sauce, 2-3 minutes more.

5
Warm & Mix

• While filling cooks, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds. • In a small bowl, combine sour cream and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

6
Serve

• Divide tortillas between plates. Fill with chickpea filling, tomato, Monterey Jack, crema, and as much pickled shallot (draining first) as you like. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
