The ingredients for Southwest Chickpeas are:

3 (400g) cans of Garbanzo Beans/chickpeas
1 package cherry tomatoes
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 jalapeno (cored)
1 bunch green (spring) onions
5 tsp southwest seasoning
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp olive oil

Here is how you make Southwest Chickpeas:

Preheat the oven to 190?C (Gas Mark 5 / 375?F).In a bowl, combine the drained chickpeas with the fajita spice, oil and plenty of black pepper. Mix well. Lay them out evenly on a baking tray, in one layer if possible.Separate the tomatoes into two piles, and set one half aside. Take one half of the tomatoes (around 125g, but it doesn't need to be accurate), and halve each tomato. Nestle them amongst the chickpeas, and roast for around 30 minutes, stirring halfway.While the chickpeas and tomatoes are roasting, prepare the vegetables and grate the cheese (50g optional - not included in calories). Roughly chop the coriander, slice the spring onions, and finely dice the remaining tomatoes.When the chickpeas have finished roasting, transfer them to a large bowl, and add the cheese, followed by the tomatoes, spring onions and coriander. Mix well, and serve immediately, with guacamole or sour cream if desired.Serving Size: makes 4 two cup servingsNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MARIGOLDILOCKS.
