Garbanzo Bean Nachos

1 Can Garbanzo Beans - 15oz
1 TBS. Braggs Amino Acids
1 TBS. Lemon Juice
1 - 2 TBS Taco Seasoning Recipe (see below)
Spinach
Guacomole (see below)
Chopped Red Pepper
Salsa


Much of this recipe is from three other sites, and then adjusted for what I had in the house. If you want to see pictures, etc, from the original recipe  go to the following links.
Turn oven to 400 degrees and line baking tray with aluminum foil. Toss rinsed garbanzo beans with Braggs, lemon juice and taco seasoning and some olive oil. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until crunchy.

While garbanzo beans are baking - Chop spinach and place in bowl. Add red pepper and guacomole and chips. These are the Food Should Taste Good - Multigrain Chips. Top with garbanzo beans and salsa.

You could also add fresh tomatoes and cilantro. I will next time.

Taco Seasoning Recipe - I make a large batch - and then save for later in an airtight container. (Old spice containers work great.) Do not use store bought taco seasoning recipes. First of all they are very expensive, secondly, they all have added sugar, usually MSG (many are now "hiding" the MSG by saying "natural flavors") In addition, they usually have preservatives in them - These are all things that you need to rid from your diet if you want to be healthy.
