Notes

Serve the Spicy Chickpea Stir-Fry hot over brown rice or quinoa for a filling meal. You can also wrap it in a whole grain tortilla for a healthy burrito. Allow the stir-fry to cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a microwave or on the stove until heated through.
