Put a little spice in your afternoon with these packable chickpea pitas. We like to round out this bento box lunch with roasted edamame and Hy-Vee Short Cuts chopped pineapple.

Spicy Garam Masala Chickpea Pitas

Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add garam masala, chili powder, cumin seeds, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, cinnamon, and fresh minced ginger. Stir the spices into the oil using a wooden spoon. Cook, being careful not to burn, for 1 to 2 minutes.

Add onions to spice mixture. Cook and stir until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add in garbanzo beans and cook 5 to 7 minutes or until heated through. Remove from stove top.

Using a potato masher, slightly mash chickpea and onion mixture; stir in chopped cilantro. Serve warm in pita pockets.
