Vegan fast food

It doesn't look like much:
but it is so, so good. I've made about seven batches of Curried Chickpea Spread so far, and I'm sure that I'll be making seven more soon. It is my vegan fast food. It takes just minutes to make and is good for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

One day not too long ago, I made a recipe from the Happy Herbivore for a chickpea spread. It was good; I enjoyed it (as I do all her recipes). Then it got me thinking... I used to eat a curried chicken salad sandwich (on a grilled rye) at my local dining establishment. I LOVED it. But I don't eat chicken anymore. I thought that maybe I could replicate it with chickpeas. And I did, and I love it, and it is even better than the chicken.

Curried Chickpea Spread

1 can of chickpeas, rinsed

1/4 t onion powder
1/4 t garlic powder
curry powder

mayo

Puree the chickpeas well. Mix in a bowl with the onion and garlic powders. Mix in enough mayo to make it creamy. Then start adding the curry and tasting until it is just right. Mine takes a lot of curry, more than I'd use in a hot dish.

I eat mine on well-toasted rice tortillas. Absolutely delicious.
