This recipe will cause me some trouble. I had trouble stopping eating and will have trouble leaving the leftovers in the fridge until tomorrow. Whether or not anyone uses my recipes, I  have my cookbook of all time favorites. I love playing with flavor and texture. Every so often something doesn’t turn out as planned but is also how my best  recipes have come about. What I don’t love is spending a lot of time in the kitchen. More than that, I am just not able to spend hours cooking. I find it so interesting that the simpler I make things the better they turn out.

I love chipotle  flavors. They are smokey, rich and save a little kick until the end. I especially love combining them with fruit. The recipe evolved from needing a new way to use the chipotle. First, I began the chick peas on to boil and then began the sauce. I decided to use peaches for the salsa because I didn’t want to overwhelm the flavor of the rest of the recipe.

1 cup frozen peaches
1/3 cup onion
2 cloves garlic
1/2  Chipotle Pepper In Adobo Sauce or 2 tsp
1/2  lime juiced or about an ounce
salt, pepper and a bit of stevia to taste

Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and purée.

Hummus Filling

1 cup dried garbanzo beans cooked for 1 hour
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic
3 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp basil
salt

Place all ingredients in blender or food processor with enough water or bean liquid to make a creamy paste.

To make the tacos, heat corn tortillas in a small amount of olive oil until hot but not browned. Place the tortilla on a plate, spread with several tablespoons of the warm hummus and either fold lengthwise or roll. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of fruit salsa for each taco.

1 serving =3 tacos. Lettuce and tomato can be added for texture and color but are optional.
