Rinse and dry your chickpeas well. In a bowl, mix chickpeas, oil, and spices until they're evenly coated.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, bake chickpeas for 20-25 minutes. When done, remove from oven and let cool.
Red Pepper Sauce
While chickpeas are cooking, prep your red pepper. Remove seeds, and cut into 1-2 inch size chunks.
Bring a nonstick pan to medium high heat, with a LITTLE heat tolerant oil in it.
Carefully sauté peppers until blackened in places. When done, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a blender (not a food processor), mix blackened red peppers with the rest of the sauce ingredients. Blend on high until dressing is smooth. If desired, strain the sauce through a mesh sieve to get rid of any leftover chunks.
Crispy Tortilla Strips
Set the oven to broil.
Cut up your tortillas until they're about an inch long, and 1/4 - 1/2 an inch wide. Toss tortilla strips with oil, salt, and as much black pepper as you like.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, broil tortilla strips for 2-3 minutes, or until crispy. Be sure to check often to ensure they don't burn!
When done, remove from heat and set aside.
Putting it All Together
Assemble your salads - in bowls, add in as many mixed greens as you like. Top with chickpeas, tortillas strips, and any other toppings. Drizzle everything with the red pepper sauce.
Enjoy!
