Taco Tuesday is my favorite night of the week. The only downside to it is that I find myself making the same taco recipe every week. Recently I got to mix up my taco Tuesday night with these Crispy Plant-Based Bean Tacos. Everyone can join in the fun with these tacos being gluten-free and vegan.
The real star of the taco is the House Party Mild Cheesy Dip. This mild cheese dip gives the tacos an extra kick and let’s face it who doesn’t love a good cheese dip. Making these tacos are rather simple. You first start out by placing all of your spices, vegetables, and black beans in a skillet on medium heat. After letting that mixture cook for a bit and preparing the tortillas, you get to assemble the tacos. What makes this recipe slightly different from other taco recipes is that you put the tacos in the oven for about 20 minutes to make them crispy.
Once the tacos are out of the oven you can garnish them however you like. I like to put some avocados on mine and some extra House Party Mild Cheese Dip on the side. Give this taco recipe a try next taco Tuesday!
