Vegetarian Tinga style fajitas with chickpeas and feta cheese

Does the word “Tinga” from the Mexican cuisine sound familiar to you? It is originally a dish from Puebla. The original recipe consists of shredded chicken in a spicy tomato-based sauce. Today’s recipe is a vegetarian recipe, and our protein source is chickpeas. After roasting the chickpeas with our Tinga spice mix, we mix them with vegetables in a rich tomato sauce. You’ll complete your fajitas with pickled shallots and feta cheese on a traditional wheat tortilla.
