Tasty Tuesday

I made this when I was looking for a quick, but healthy lunch for me and the boys yesterday. I had cooked chickpeas in the freezer (I buy 4 lb bags of dry chickpeas at the Indian grocery, cook them in the crockpot and freeze) so I thought we'd give this a try. Plus, Hudson's favorite legume is chickpeas. It came together in the food processor in no time. We ate it in a wheat tortilla with lettuce and tomato.
