I won't be posting this recipe here since, obviously, it isn't mine. What I am going to do is figure out the cost, since I seriously want to recommend it to you guys. It's easy to make, requires very few ingredients and is OMG SO DELICIOUS. I am not kidding. This recipe is incredible.
I had almost every ingredient in the cupboard already. I had all the spices, but no taco shells, for the simple reason that I've never had tacos before. This recipe was perfect for my first time (insert joke here).
Ingredients
I'm not calculating the costs of the other spices, as only a quarter of a teaspoon is used. I'll estimate 20p for all of them.
Total - £1.54 for two people, or 77p per person.
Leftovers
We ate ours with vegan mayo (Mayola, £1.59 for 310g, approx 20p per tablespoon), fresh tomatoes (pack of 6 salad tomatoes, 95p, Tesco, approx 16p each), tomato purée (approx 4p per tablespoon) and salad leaves (mixed leaves, £1 per bag, Tesco, so approx 25p each). Of course, these ingredients do up the cost, which is why I've not tagged this as under £2, but they are so worth it. I particularly like the vegan mayo - it nicely counteracts the spiciness of the chickpeas. Anthony prefers the tomato.
This is definitely going to be something I'll make again and again. It takes, at most, half an hour. You could even do more chickpeas at once, and just microwave them when you next want them.
