Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 can chickpeas (15.5 ounce), drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon taco seasoning, I used this recipe
¾ cup salsa (use your favorite kind)

Instructions

Heat oil in a medium non-stick skillet over high heat.
When oil is hot, add chickpeas and taco seasoning, saute for about 1 minute for spices to be toasted.
Stir in salsa and cook, until most of the water evaporates. (Don't make it dry )
Since the salsa is one of the flavor contributing ingredient, use the salsa you truly love. If you are not sure of the brand, then I highly recommend you tasting the salsa first with a spoon. Go ahead with the recipe, if you like the taste.
Take pan off heat and mash lightly using a potato masher. Be careful not to mash too much. Just 2 or 3 times with the masher is good enough. We just want to bind everything together.
Serve with white rice, chopped avocado, jalapeno and cilantro.

Notes

Use your favorite jarred salsa
