Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 oz/425 g) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or cooked rice (optional, adds bulk)
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen and thawed, or canned)
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1 cup halved grape tomatoes
  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or vegan cheese
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the rinsed chickpeas with harissa paste, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Spread chickpeas out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway, until crispy and fragrant. Lower heat if they start to burn.
  3. While chickpeas roast, cook ½ cup (90 g) quinoa according to package instructions (about 15 minutes). Let it cool.
  4. Dice cucumber, halve grape tomatoes, chop red onion, dice avocado, and shred cheese. Rinse and drain black beans and corn if using canned. Chop cilantro or parsley finely.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed and set aside.
  6. In your serving bowl, layer the ingredients in this order: cooked quinoa (if using) or a base of black beans, roasted harissa chickpeas, corn kernels, diced cucumber, halved grape tomatoes, diced red onion, diced avocado, shredded cheese, and sprinkle chopped cilantro or parsley on top.
  7. Spoon the yogurt-lime dressing over the top or serve on the side for guests to add as they like.
  8. Optionally, add a squeeze of fresh lime or a sprinkle of smoked paprika over everything before serving for extra zing.

Notes

Roast chickpeas until crispy but not burnt, stirring halfway through. Pat chickpeas dry before roasting if needed to improve crispiness. Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning. Dressing ties layers together and adds refreshing tang. Rinse canned beans and corn well to avoid sogginess. Harissa paste heat level can be adjusted to taste.
