These tacos are very good. you can use flour or corn tortillas. I cooked the pinto beans as directed on the package and seasoned them as I would have normally seasoned my taco meat. yummy! *You can also use canned pinto beans mashed up for this recipe to make it easier.

Time 2h32m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (1 lb) bag pinto beans
10 flour tortillas (preferably the larger size)
10 corn tortillas (optional)
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 onion
3 cups cheddar cheese
2 -3 limes
1/2 head lettuce
2 tomatoes (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (to taste)
1 -2 avocado (optional)
sour cream
hot sauce

Steps:

  • cook pinto beans as directed on package. as beans are cooking chop up onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. pluck leaves of cilantro or chop them as well. shred cheddar cheese. cut limes in half.
  • when the pinto beans are done rinse/strain them in hot water. put them in a big enough bowl and start mashing them. (I use a potatoe masher.) add a few pinches of cilantro, about half of the juice from half a lime, garlic powder, chili powder and real sea salt all to taste.
  • i always cook my tortillas.
  • Flour tortillas can be cooked on a cast iron tortilla pan. corn tortillas are good fried in a little oil.
  • top your pinto bean taco with cheese, lettuce, onion, tomato, cilantro, a squeeze of lime, avacado, sour cream, and your favorite hot sauce (La Victoria Salsa Brava (hot) is very good). enjoy!

PINTO BEAN AND POBLANO TACOS



Pinto Bean and Poblano Tacos image

Roasted poblano chiles and sauteed onion bring intense flavor to these vegetarian tacos. The kidney beans and corn tortillas have complementary amino acids that together form complete proteins like those available from meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, and eggs.

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 fresh poblano chiles (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 cup drained canned pinto beans, rinsed
1/4 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought vegetable stock
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 cup fromage blanc or plain nonfat yogurt
12 corn tortillas (6 inches each), warmed
Lime wedges, for serving
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler, with the rack 6 inches from the heat source. Place chiles on a baking sheet. Broil, flipping once, until charred, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand 15 minutes. Remove skins and seeds, and discard. Cut chiles into 1/2-inch-thick strips, and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent and pale golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in beans, stock, and salt. Using a heatproof rubber spatula, fold in chiles; cook until chiles are warmed though, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; stir in 1 tablespoon fromage blanc. Spoon into the warm tortillas. Top with remaining 3 tablespoons fromage blanc, dividing evenly. Serve with lime, and garnish with cilantro.
