A vegetarian alternative to this Mexican favorite. My parents are a little leary of my non-meat dishes, but they love Mexican food. And this was a big hit. I was happy...

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 red peppers or 1 green pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, de-seeded, minced (or to taste-can substitute hot sauce or a dash of cayenne for the heat)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (19 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
3 -5 tablespoons of your favorite chunky salsa
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (I like the color this gives the beans)
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander (your choice)
8 taco shells
shredded cheddar cheese
shredded iceberg lettuce
salsa
hot sauce
fresh cilantro, chopped
tomatoes
black olives
sour cream

Steps:

  • In large fry pan, heat oil over medium heat.
  • Cook the onion, celery, red or green pepper, jalapeno, and garlic until softened.
  • Add garbanzo beans, spices, and a couple tsp of salsa.
  • Stir until heated through.
  • I like to fit the taco shells in a baking pan, spoon in filling evenly into the shells and bake in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes or so.
  • It helps the shells from falling apart when you take the first bite.
  • Remove from oven and top with your favorite toppings.
