Instructions

Drain the chickpeas and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Add the olive oil, cumin, chili powder, dried oregano, paprika, and chickpeas to a large skillet.
Cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the chickpeas are cooking, warm the tortillas in the microwave.
Whisk together the mayonnaise and adobo sauce.
Divide the chickpeas between the tortillas, top with avocado, pico de gallo, and sauce mixture.

Notes

Note: If you can’t find adobo sauce, you can buy chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, which are usually sold near the salsa and canned beans. Use the sauce from the can of peppers and save the peppers for another use!
