Ingredients & Substitutions
Chickpeas are the star here, giving a fantastic crunch and protein boost. If you're out of taco seasoning, you can mix cumin, paprika, and garlic powder for a quick sub. The plant-based vegan cheese can be whatever you like—just make sure it melts well for that gooey goodness!
Tips & Notes
- •I always keep a batch of roasted chickpeas on hand—they're great for snacking!
- •You can switch up the toppings based on what you have in the fridge; think olives, corn, or even some spicy salsa!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I like to add black beans or corn in the layers for extra texture and flavor.
- •You could also try different seasonings, like curry powder, for a totally unique twist.
Storage & Freezing
These are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the components separately in airtight containers in the fridge. The crispy elements tend to lose their crunch when stored together.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the chickpeas and tortillas in advance, just store them separately. When you're ready to eat, layer and bake fresh.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it’s heating up, drain and rinse those chickpeas.
- 2
In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil and taco seasoning until they’re well-coated.
- 3
Spread the seasoned chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for about 20-25 minutes or until they’re golden and crispy.
- 4
While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare your corn tortillas. Cut them into quarters and arrange them on another baking sheet.
- 5
Once the oven is free, pop the tortillas in for about 10-12 minutes until they’re crispy and slightly golden.
- 6
Now it’s time to assemble your towers! Start with a crispy tortilla piece, then add a layer of chickpeas, followed by a sprinkle of plant-based vegan cheese.
- 7
Repeat the layering until you've built a mini tower—two or three layers is perfect.
- 8
Place your towers on a baking sheet and bake them for another 5-7 minutes, just long enough to melt the vegan cheese.
- 9
Once they’re out of the oven, top with sliced avocado, a drizzle of coconut yogurt, fresh cilantro, and jalapeños if you’re feeling spicy.
- 10
Serve with lime wedges on the side and dig in!
