Ingredients

Scale

Taco Base

  • 4 flour tacos
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Vegetables and Beans

  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 small red pepper, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 x 400g canned white beans, drained and rinsed

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 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

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and red pepper, sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add Beans and Sauce: Stir in the drained white beans, buffalo hot sauce, sour cream, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
  3. Thicken Sauce: As the mixture warms through, use a wooden spoon to crush about one-third to one-half of the white beans to create a thicker, creamier sauce that coats the veggies nicely.
  4. Prepare Tacos: Drape each tortilla across the pan with the mixture to get it slightly wet with the sauce. Then, add the white bean mixture to one half of each taco, topping it generously with the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  5. Fry Tacos: Cook the filled tacos for 2 minutes on each side in the pan until the tortillas are golden and crispy and the cheese has melted inside.
  6. Finish and Serve: Remove the tacos from the pan, scatter chopped cilantro over the top, and serve immediately with extra sour cream on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add more cayenne pepper or buffalo sauce to taste.
  • You can substitute flour tortillas for corn tortillas for a gluten-free option, but cooking time may vary.
  • White beans can be replaced with chickpeas for a different texture and flavor.
  • To make it vegan, swap sour cream and cheese for plant-based alternatives.
  • Make sure to crush some of the beans to create a nice thick filling texture.
