Default why do recipes seem to call for chickpeas?

For chickpeas in North African or Near/Middle Eastern food, I'd recommend broad/fava beans, or lentils, or meat.

In this case, because it's turning into a vegan burger, lots of different beans will work. Small white beans or cannelini should work. I'd probably use kidney beans.
