Chickpea Taco (Vegan, Gluten-Free)

I’m all about quick meals, so when my son Daevyd showed me taco shells that were in the pantry and said he wanted me to prepare them for him. I was all excited, "yes I will make Chickpea Taco". We had some chickpeas already and we had just bought some avocados so it was perfect. Now I had to make my own taco seasoning.
Although my daughter Devannah had bought some prepared taco seasonings from the health food store, I always prefer preparing my own sauces, seasonings etc 95% of the time. It’s just me, I’m a ‘do it yourself’ kind of person. By the way that’s how I started making my own soaps.

My mindset is, ‘if someone can do it, so can I.’ It’s crazy but that’s the way I am. I also would love to sew my own clothes. I love to know what I’m eating and what I’m putting on my skin.
