Ingredients

Scale

Taco and Filling

  • 4 flour tacos
  • 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
  • 150g shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese
  • 10g cilantro, chopped finely

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and red pepper, sautéing for 5-6 minutes until softened.
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Combine Beans and Sauce: Add the drained white beans, buffalo hot sauce, sour cream, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, cumin, along with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Simmer and Mash: Let the mixture warm through on medium heat. Use a wooden spoon to crush about one-third to one-half of the beans to create a thicker, creamy sauce consistency.
  5. Wet Tacos: Lay each flour taco across the mixture briefly to get moistened with the sauce.
  6. Assemble Tacos: Spoon the white bean mixture onto half of each taco, then sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top.
  7. Fry Tacos: Fold tacos and fry in the pan for 2 minutes on each side over medium heat until golden and crispy and cheese is melted.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove tacos from the pan, scatter chopped cilantro over them, and serve immediately with extra sour cream for dipping.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add more cayenne pepper or buffalo sauce.
  • Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free alternative.
  • The bean mixture can be prepared ahead and reheated before assembling tacos.
  • To add extra protein, consider topping with grilled chicken or roasted cauliflower.
  • Serve with a side of celery sticks or a green salad for a complete meal.
