Ingredients
Scale
Taco Base
- 4 flour tacos
Vegetable and Bean Mixture
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small red pepper, diced
- 1 x 400g canned white beans, drained and rinsed
- 90ml buffalo hot sauce
- 100g sour cream
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 150g shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese
- 10g cilantro, chopped finely
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and red pepper, and sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Beans and Sauce: Stir in the drained white beans, buffalo hot sauce, and sour cream, along with the smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
- Crush Beans: As the mixture warms through, use a wooden spoon to crush about half of the beans to create a thicker, more cohesive sauce—that will help the filling stick better inside the tacos.
- Prepare Tacos: Lay each flour tortilla across the taco mixture to coat it slightly with the sauce. Then, spoon the white bean mixture onto half of each taco and sprinkle evenly with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Fry Tacos: Fry each taco in the pan for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy, allowing the cheeses to melt and the tacos to crisp up beautifully.
- Garnish and Serve: Scatter chopped cilantro over the tacos before serving. Offer extra sour cream on the side for dipping to add a creamy balance to the spicy filling.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with corn tortillas.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce and cayenne pepper according to your spice preference.
- For extra texture, consider adding diced celery or shredded lettuce inside the tacos.
- These tacos can be made vegan by using a plant-based sour cream and cheese alternative.
