Chickpeas are a huge protein source and one of the cheapest foods available. They already have a texture different from most beans/pulses.

• Roast or fry them if you prefer them to be dry and crispy. (Add like 0.5 grams of salt to a bowl of these bad boys and I could eat them for all meals every meal)
• Mix 'em into hamas (hummus) if you want a tasty paste.
• Boil 'em in a curry if you want firm little 'uns.
• Mash 'em, mix 'em and fry them for delicious falafel (though this requires the dry chickpeas, not tinned).
• Get chickpea flour and use it to make lil' protein-filled flatbreads.

There's really no losing. Chickpeas are the ultimate bean (though technically a pulse).

Tinned chickpeas are very easy to throw into any dinner. Dried chickpeas are even cheaper at the shelf (and some say tastier), but require soaking/cooking first.

You can even grow them yourself and eat the leaves for bonus vitamins (but like wheat, you won't get more than a handful without some acreage)

For dry beans i brine them then slow cook them and they turn out creamy. Do you like refried beans? Not like canned shit but from a nice mexican restaurant typa thing. Its hard for me to say what your issue is tho i have never been someone who cares much about food texture. I dont even notice it tbh im just there for flavors.

I don't know your life experience or what will work for you. But I spent 20 something years of my life gagging at beans. Now I will eat beans in most forms, except refried. I felt just like you, the texture was gross. I started with chilis and soups that had beans in it, but also other stuff to not focus on. Gradually I tried more and more bean dishes and have grown to enjoy them.
