In a food processor, coarsely chop 1-2 cups cooked chickpeas until they resemble the texture of cooked ground beef. Transfer to a non-stick frying pan and "dry-fry" until beans are toasty on the outside. Sprinkle with a little water to moisten and season to taste with taco seasoning (recipe below). Then add the special finishing ingredient: 1/4 c. pico de gallo. This will cause the "meat" to clump and make it deliciously flavorful. Spoon onto a bed of leafy greens and garnish with avocado, tomatoes, olives, peppers and more pico de gallo.

1 tsp. sea salt (optional)
