- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste

- Top each pita with a generous handful of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions for that fresh, crunchy effect.

- Fold the pita breads gently to form tasty tacos and serve them immediately to enjoy!
Notes
For the best flavor, use freshly cooked chickpeas. Warming the pita makes it easier to fold.
