Chickpeas are a huge protein source and one of the cheapest foods available. They already have a texture different from most beans/pulses.
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)
I'll have to give them a shot. I used to hate hummus until I had some at a Greek place that made their own and discovered that it could be good. I'll have to try roasting because I do like crunchy snacks.
