Chickpea tacos

1 14.5 oz can chickpeas
a lime
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 onion, sliced thinly
1 garlic clove, minced
tomatoes and cilantro for serving

Heat a pan over medium high heat with a little oil in it. Put in the chickpeas and onions and a pinch of salt.   cook this, stirring pretty often, until the onions and chickpeas begin to brown a little. At that point, add the minced garlic and taco seasoning. :)

Stir the seasoning and garlic around in the pan so that it begins to cover all the chickpeas and onions. Stir this for a couple of minutes. Add lime juice and a T of water.you can use a potato masher to break the chickpeas up a little.
This is perfect with tomatoes and cilantro on tortillas!
