Preparation
  1. Drain and rinse chickpeas. Add to a sauté pan over medium heat with taco seasoning, water, and tomato paste. Stir to combine and cook until fragrant, 3 – 4 min. 
  2. Meanwhile, cut avocado in half; discard pit. Scoop out flesh and slice.
  3. Remove pan from heat. Using Ground Meat Separator, lightly mash chickpeas until some have broken up.
