Chickpea Al Pastor Tacos

Al pastor is traditionally a rotisserie-style meat-based dish with onions and pineapples. Here I use roasted chickpeas as a plant-based replacement. Adding the pineapple and onion to the baking sheet yields caramelized and slightly charred accompaniments to the chick-peas. Adding the seasonings part-way through the cooking process keeps them from burning while still giving them time to infuse.

Total Time: 40 MINUTES

2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed

½ red onion, sliced

1 (15-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained and divided

2 tablespoons liquid aminos

½ teaspoon ground cumin

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of ground cloves

12 oil-free corn tortillas, wrapped in parchment paper

¼ to ⅓ cup pineapple or mango salsa
