Units:
Instructions
  1. Wash your hands and clean your preparation area.
  2. Cut cucumber in half. Use one half in step 3, reserve the other half for tacos in step 5.
  3. For the tzatziki, use a box grater or food processor to shred one half of cucumber. Drain any excess liquid.
  4. In a small bowl, combine grated cucumber, greek yogurt, minced garlic, fresh dill, and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate for flavors to meld up to 2 hours before serving.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, red onion, tomatoes, olives, and feta. Set aside until ready to serve.
  6. To a medium pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garbanzo beans, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, ground basil, ground dill, salt, and pepper. Stir to evenly coat the garbanzo beans.
  7. Continue to cook the garbanzo beans over medium heat, stirring frequently until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  8. Once the chickpeas are cooked, keep warm while warming the tortillas. Heat a small pan over medium high heat, gently toast both sides of the tortillas to desired warmth or toastiness.
  9. Evenly divide the garbanzo mixture onto the 8 tortillas. Evenly divide the cucumber mixture and add over the top of garbanzo mixture. Finally, evenly divide the tzatziki and drizzle over the top of tacos.

Servings: servings

Instructions
  1. To toast pine nuts: Add pine nuts to a skillet (do not add oil) over medium heat. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Pine nuts are toasted when slightly browned and fragrant.
  2. Evenly cover the surface of a flat serving dish with the hummus. We recommend using the back of a spoon to create a decorative scalloped effect.
  3. Over the top of the hummus, evenly spread the black olives, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and pine nuts.
  4. Sprinkle the parsley, kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika evenly over the top.
  5. Divide evenly into 6 servings and serve with your favorite “dipper.” We recommend bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli!
