A 20 minute dinner that will have you going back for seconds – these Buffalo Chickpea Tacos with Vegan Ranch are simple & delicious.

It is not only the first day of the new year, it is also the first Taco Tuesday of the new year. And you know I had to kick off 2019 with something extra delicious.

My Buffalo Cauliflower Taco recipe is literally my most popular recipe on TSV. But sometimes you just don’t have 30 minutes to roast veggies. And that is where this recipe comes in.

You get all of the same great flavors, but in half the amount of time…score!

TSV TIP: My go-to brands for this recipe are Frank’s Red Hot Sauce (the original, not the “wing” version), and Just Ranch.

I prefer to eat these tacos with flour tortillas. They hold up well and just work nicely with all of the flavors. You can swap them for corn if you prefer.

Believe me when I say this is going to be one of your go-to recipes!
