Savory Chickpea and Avocado Scramble

This hearty and flavorful scramble is a great way to start your day or enjoy as a quick and easy lunch. The chickpeas provide a boost of protein and fiber, while the avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats. The red onion and green bell pepper add a bit of crunch and sweetness, and the chili powder and cumin give the scramble a warm and smoky flavor.

This recipe was inspired by my travels to the Middle East, where I fell in love with the flavors of chickpeas, avocado, and spices. I wanted to create a dish that was both flavorful and healthy, and that could be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This scramble is the perfect combination of all of those things.
