Crispy injera taco shells filled with flavorful spiced chickpeas, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and a cooling yogurt dollop. A fun and unique twist on classic tacos!
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the injera sheets into quarters or smaller pieces depending on the desired size of your taco shells. Place the pieces on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the injera is crisp and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
While the injera is baking, prepare the spiced chickpeas. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
Stir in the turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are heated through and slightly softened.
To assemble the injera tacos, fill each crispy injera shell with spiced chickpeas, diced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce.
Top with a dollop of plain yogurt and serve immediately.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chickpea mixture.
If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger.
Add other toppings as desired, such as chopped cilantro, red onion, or avocado.
If your injera is particularly thick, you may need to bake it slightly longer to achieve the desired crispness.
