Easy Chick Pea and Potato Lettuce Wraps

This recipe is really was invented by necessity. Originally I planned to make chick pea and potato tacos, but discovered my blue corn tortillas were moldy. Mom fail! I forgot to put them in the refrigerator. So instead of tacos tonight, we are having lettuce wraps.

Homemade Taco Seasoning
2 tablespoons of chili powder
1 tablespoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
2 teaspoons of onion powder
2 teaspoons of garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
 
 Mix all of the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Chick Pea and Potato Lettuce Wraps
2 large russet potatoes, cleaned and diced
1 can of chick pears, rinsed and drained
1 head of lettuce, washed and dried
2 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning
2 tablespoons of canola oil
1/4 cup of veggie broth
1 green onion chopped,  for garnish

Method

In a medium skillet, heat oil to medium high. Add diced potatoes. Stir making sure each potato is covered in the oil. Once potatoes begin to brown, add the drained chick peas. Again, stirring to make sure everything is browning evenly. Then add two table spoons of the homemade taco seasoning.  Stir again to coat. Add the vegetable broth and cover. Let potatoes and chick peas cook for ten minutes. Remove the lid and serve the warm filling in the lettuce cups. I garnish my lettuce wrap with green onion and daiya cheese. Enjoy!
