making curry tacos with cats…vegan, gluten-free, FLAVORFUL!

The wife visited the cousins a couple of years ago and came home talking of cousin Catherine's curry chickpeas dish (click). Yesterday she makes it and posts it and the taste buds are reminded of that awesomeness and so we endeavor to have something like it, but we were in the mood for tacos.  No reason you can't have Indian tacos, right? The wife describes it correctly as "Indian-Mex fusion".

SO, we made gluten-free brown rice tortillas (which takes a little practice, but becomes EASY and is sooo delish, clic here). I have a recipe for spinach and chickpeas that I wanted to use because I had been to the store and there was way too much spinach in the fridge…needing to be eaten **** (recipe at bottom).  I also made some rice and peas **** (recipe follows)

You can guess this was all quite spectacular, and easy, and if you didn't know it already a) Indian food makes GREAT Mexican food and b) put ANYTHING into your tortillas! YUM! and c) making tortillas isn't hard, find some recipes! We just use a iron skillet, wax paper and rolling pin….

spinach and chickpeas:
-Saute diced onion and garlic, add curry and turmeric powder, black pepper, hot sauce, drain and rinse a can of chickpeas add to onion, add a little water, simmer several minutes.  Add 4 cups fresh spinach and simmer until it is all wilted and nicely mixed in.
