These Crispy Pizza White Bean Tacos (vegetarian) are the perfect healthy dinner recipe.
Ingredients
Filling
- 1 small yellow or sweet onion - diced
- 1 bell pepper - finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic - minced
- pinch red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½-1 teaspoon salt adjust to your preference
- black pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup tomato pasta sauce marinara or pizza sauce
- 2 cans or jars white beans - drained and patted dry
- ½ cup basil - finely chopped
Other ingredients
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella adjust to your preference
- 8 tacos shells I recommend using flour but corn works too
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 5 minutes. Add bell pepper and garlic and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Add all remaining filling ingredients to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Turn off heat, using a potato masher mash bean mixture until mixture starts to bind together.
- Warm the taco shells in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. They should be soft and bendable. Add taco shells to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. To each shell add 2-3 tablespoons of bean mixture. Top with mozzarella and fold close. To make sure the taco shells stay closed, carefully flip the taco shells so the bean mixture is on the top half.
- Bake tacos for 8-10 minutes, flip and then bake for another 8-10 minutes. Let cool and enjoy. These tacos taste amazing with pizza sauce or pasta sauce.
Notes
This makes about 3 servings of tacos.
