I made chickpeas with ground meat for lunch yesterday and it was so simple and delicious that I decided I needed to post it for you today. This is not a dinner party dish, but if you’re looking for an easy recipe in which to use ground meat and canned chickpeas, this is a pretty good way.
Buen provecho!

This dish sounds super delicious with chickpeas! Btw, I finally made your recipe of cheese arepas last night, both Jr. and I really loved them! Thanks!

Perfect! I have several cups of chickpeas that I need to use today. I don’t have achiote in the house, do you think a packet of Sazon with Azafrán would work? I have saffron also.
Erica says
Hi Kitty- You can use sazón con azafrán.

I made this week b4 last and it was very tasty. It’s a keeper! I printed and added to my recipe folder. Easy to make & a good meal for days when I’m especially busy or exhausted. I had to use ground turkey because that was the only ground meat in the freezer that day. The sazon con azafran worked just fine but I’ll buy achiote next time I can find it. Thanks

Made this recently. Was very tasty. The pic hardly does it justice. I served it over a mashed peas and chopped spinach mixture (I’ve a toddler and need to get veggies in however possible.) The combination really complemented the dish which was delicious on its own.
