To roast the chickpeas: preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, salt, lime juice and water. Stir in chickpeas. Place seasoned chickpeas on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring once during cooking, until chickpeas are slightly crispy.

While the chickpeas are roasting, in a large skillet, heat ghee over medium high heat. Add ginger and chili. Cook for a minute then add the harder veggies, carrots and cabbage. Cook for 5 minutes. Then add remaining veggies.

In a small bowl, combine cumin, salt, pepper and lime juice. Pour mixture over vegetables and cook for another 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender but not too cooked. Stir in the roasted chickpeas and fresh cilantro.

Spoon roasted chickpea and vegetable mixture evenly down the centers of warm tortillas, and garnish with fresh tomatoes and Zesty Yogurt Dipping Sauce. Roll up tortillas and your ready to offer to Kṛṣṇa with love and devotion!
