Totally Awesome Tacos

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic
1 15 oz can kidney beans, light red
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 packet vegan taco seasoning

Directions:

1) Saute onion in olive oil til brown.

2) Add green bell and garlic. Salt if you like. Saute 3-5 min more.

3) Add in beans, water and 1 packet of taco seasoning (or use homemade if you prefer).

4) Let simmer until reduced, stirring occasionally. While stirring, smash up the beans as much as you like (I use a potato masher to get them fairly smooth).

5) Stir in nutritional yeast.

6) Place into taco shells and top with your fave toppings: avocado, tomato, lettuce, veg sour cream, etc...

Also, makes an awesome chip dip or layered bean dip. Enjoy!

Serves: 2-4

Preparation time: 15 minutes

These were brilliant! I absolutely loved them.. I followed the recipe exactly and they were perfect. The nutritional yeast really adds something awesome to the flavor. I'm sure I will be making these again (in fact I can tell this'll become a new staple of mine)! Thanks so much for the recipe.

I love these! The only changes I made was to add a can of pinto beans (I wanted to double the recipe and that's what I had) and a couple of pinches of crushed red pepper. I managed to not have any tortillas (forgot I had whole wheat wraps but that's a different story..) so I put it on buns with lots of lettuce. This just hit the spot perfectly.

I thought these tacos were good

but next time i'm either going to leave out the nutritional yeast or only use about a tablespoon... i thought the flavor was a bit too overpowering... but i will make this again, thanks.
