Mediterranean Garbanzos
My mom came up with this recipe on the same day that she made the Cheezy Baked Macaroni (March 2007 Newsletter), thinking that my son, Jaysen, would love the pasta and that this dish would be too spicy for him. He ate 6 bowls of this dish and only a few bites of the pasta. You never know. This would be great in a wrap with brown rice or whole wheat couscous, or without the tortilla and in a bowl.
