将鹰嘴豆成铁板香肠h补充道eft while keeping this meal light on the meat. If you normally throw the stems from a bunch of cilantro or parsley straight into the garbage...DON'T! They're delicious, and can be diced finely and stirred into all kinds of things—like this yogurt sauce.

Ingredients

4 servings

1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas, rinsed
1 lime
8 sprigs cilantro
¼ cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
Kosher salt
2 links fresh chorizo (about 8 oz. total), casings removed
4 tostada shells
  1. Step 1

    Measure out ½ cup chickpeas; reserve remaining chickpeas for another use. Finely grate zest of lime into a small bowl. Cut lime in half and squeeze juice from one half into bowl with zest. Cut remaining half into wedges; set aside for serving.

    Step 2

    Gather cilantro on a cutting board. Starting at the stem end, finely chop until you get to the leaves; reserve leaves for serving. Add stems to bowl with lime. Add yogurt to bowl and mix well. Season with salt.

    Step 3

    Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Cook chorizo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until partially cooked, about 3 minutes. Add chickpeas and season with salt. Cook, mashing some of the chickpeas with spoon until chorizo is cooked through and crisp, 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat.

    Step 4

    Spread yogurt mixture over tostada shells. Top with chorizo mixture, then with reserved cilantro leaves. Serve with reserved lime wedges for squeezing over.

  • This recipe is easily adapted if you have a vegetarian in the house -- just saute the chick peas separately with a little bit of cumin. Really easy and both carnivores and vegetarians are happy.

  • Excellent, quick and easy. I forgot to get cilantro so I used spinach, finely chopped instead. I think I would prefer this to cilantro. The lime and yogurt was the kicker. Really tasty. Served it with avocado slices.

  • This recipe is outstanding. The meat fell off the bone and the glaze was succulent. The aroma in the house the from reducing the glaze was a treat. I’ve made it twice this week!

  • Super easy and super tasty. I've used some oven toasted corn tortillas in place of the tostada shells and found it be just as nice.

  • Delicious. The portions are too small if serving as a main. I modified as follows: 1 onion, 4 cloves of garlic, 1 sereno pepper (seeded) - all chopped. Saute onion, garlic and pepper, then add 1 pound of chorizo and cook for 5 minutes while breaking up. Add 2 150z cans of rinsed garbanzo and cook for another 10 minutes while smashing garbanzo. Double the yogurt sauce and serve with sliced avocado.
