Spelt tortillas all day long. Our friends at Heirloom LA kill it whenever we eat with them (see their teepee-centric dinner party here!), but we find these vegan tacos especially appealing. Spelt and chickpeas make for the most nutrient-dense vegan tacos we've ever taken a bite of. Fill them up with your fave fiesta-worthy fillings, or take them up a notch by whipping up this OMG-inducing chickpea salad at home. Here's our gal Tara Maxey, owner of all the Heirloom LA amazingness... Spelt is my favorite flour to work with because it has grit to it and a sweet nutty flavor, as well as a high nutritional profile. Making these wholesome tortillas with friends or kiddos is easy and fun because the process is fast and the procedure is much less finicky than most doughs. Once cooked off, these spelt tortillas are pretty versatile. My favorite way to eat them is hot off the grill and drizzled with olive oil and some
flavored sea salt. Serve with chopped avocado and some fresh salsa. Done. Go the extra distance and make the simple chickpea salad too. It has its own virtues of deliciousness and can be added to green salads or served as a side dish. If you get out to the Wednesday Santa Monica Farmer’s Market,
Jimenez Family Farm carries green garbanzo beans, fresh, in their pod, until early-mid September. It’s sold by the bush so you can keep it out as a decorative centerpiece and then shell the beans right around the table. It’s a conversation piece for sure! Does all this sound too healthy for your kids or your friends even? Get them involved in the cooking process and watch how their tastebuds change. How can they not like what they helped make? These recipes are fun ways to engage those you care about in the kitchen and then to feel confident that you are nourishing them well.
