Collard Green and Chickpea Tacos with Avocado Salsa Verde

These collard green and chickpea tacos are a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of vegetables and protein. The collard greens provide a hearty base, while the chickpeas add a boost of fiber and protein. The red onion, cilantro, and avocado add flavor and freshness, and the lime juice and olive oil bring it all together. Serve these tacos in collard green wraps or on top of your favorite low-carb tortillas for a quick and easy meal.

I first came across this recipe in a small taqueria in Oaxaca, Mexico. The owner, a woman named Maria, was kind enough to share her recipe with me. I've been making these tacos ever since, and they've become a favorite of mine and my family. I love the combination of flavors and textures, and the fact that they're so healthy and easy to make. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
