(recipe from allrecipes.com)

2 Tbsp. chili powder
1 Tbsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. black pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/8 tsp cayenne powder

**My family LOVED this recipe!  I did not miss the meat at all!  Chick peas are becoming my new favorite!!  This is a fast easy meal to make especially if you make the seasoning ahead of time.
