There are some excellent plant-based yogurt and sour cream brands available, so you can definitely use those instead of the standard ones that contain dairy.

Are Chickpeas and Garbanzo Beans The Same Thing?

Yes.

Chickpeas and garbanzo beans are the same, so you can use ones with either name in this recipe.

You can either use chickpeas that have already been cooked in a can or you can purchase dried chickpeas and cook them yourself.

I prefer cooking them myself, since it is easier on the budget and homecooked chickpeas taste fantastic.

However, I also keep canned chickpeas in my pantry to have them available for quicker food prep.

Chickpeas and garbanzo beans are indeed the same exact thing.

How To Serve Chickpea Guacamole

You can simply serve it in a bowl with chips, crackers or veggies instead of your usual guacamole recipe.
