Who doesn't love a good taco? I'm from Texas and tacos and Tex-Mex is in our blood! I especially love a good taco with a margarita or a beer and a great movie. A few weeks ago I did a post on how to make desi-inspired tacos and I thought I'd share my favourite classic taco recipe!
Ingredients (Makes 6 tacos):
1 packet of Black Beans or MorningStar Farms Griller Crumbles
1/2 head of lettuce shredded
2 tomatoes diced
Cheese to your liking
1/2 onion diced
My Mama's Black Bean Recipe
In an InstantPot add 2 cups of water for each cup of black beans
Add about 1/2 tsp of salt
Pressure cook the beans for 30 minutes
Let the beans rest in the pot for 20 minutes after cooking
Carefully remove the lid and drain out the water
In a large bowl, add around 1-2 tbsp of taco seasoning (depending on how many beans you have), a pinch of salt, black pepper (to taste), and some Indian Chili Powder (optional).
Take out how much beans you would need for your tacos and freeze the rest!
MorningStar Farms Griller Crumbles
In a pan, cook the crumbles as instructed on the packet.
Add some taco seasoning (to taste) to the cooked crumbles
Directions:
Heat you taco shells in the oven till warm and slightly crispy
Assemble your tacos with the ingredients. You can even add the beans and crumble together or make separate tacos with different protein!
Add some salsa and enjoy!
Peace and Love,
Srini
