🌮 Kid-Friendly Bean Tacos#

🛒 Ingredients#

The Filling

• 1 can (400g) Black or Pinto beans (rinsed/drained)
• 1 cup Frozen corn
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1/2 cup Mild salsa
• 1/2 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

The Base & Toppings

• 8 Mini flour tortillas (or hard shells)
• 1 Avocado (mashed)
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce

👩‍🍳 Instructions#

1. Mash the Beans: Place drained beans in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly mash roughly $1/4$ of the beans with a fork to create a “paste” that holds the filling together.
2. Season: Add corn, cumin, paprika, and salsa. Stir and heat for 5 minutes.
3. The “Glue”: Stir in the cheese until melted. This acts as a binder so the filling doesn’t fall out of the shell.
4. Assemble: Spoon the mixture into warmed tortillas. Top with a dollop of yogurt, mashed avocado, and lettuce.

Tip: If your kids prefer a “beef” look, use black beans; if they like a milder, creamier taste, go with pinto beans!
