Instructions

Combine Ingredients:
In a food processor, add chickpeas, parsley, garlic powder, bell pepper, and quartered red onion. Season with salt and pepper.
Pulse to Coarse Texture:
Process until the mixture is coarse. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Add Flour and Juice:
Mix in chickpea flour and lime juice. Process until the mixture just comes together. A few chunks are fine for texture.

If too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until the mixture holds together.
