- Olive oil
- 2 15 oz cans of chickpeas., rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika

Notes
My kids like a but of spice so I add up to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, but you may want to taste and add gradually.
Sometimes I add 1 cup of fresh or frozen corn and some chopped bell pepper to the chickpea mixture if I want more leftover for future meals!
