Calories 134cal
Ingredients
- 1 package (8-inch) flour tortillas* (please know you will probably only use 4-6 tortillas)
- ½ tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup diced white onion
- 1 slightly underripe plantain, diced
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup BUSH’S® Black Beans in a Mild Chili Sauce, do not drain*
- 3 ounces manchego cheese, shredded (about ¾ cup)
- To serve:
- 1-2 ripe avocados, depending on how much guac you like
- Freshly ground salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh squeezed lime juice, from ½ a small lime
- Fresh chopped cilantro
- Your favorite hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12 cup muffin pan with olive oil cooking spray.
- Use a biscuit cutter to out 3 ½-4 inch circles from your tortillas. You can eyeball it too and use a scissors, but you will most likely get 3 tortilla rounds from each tortilla. Place tortilla rounds in each muffin liner.
- Add olive oil to a medium pan and place over medium-high heat. Add in minced garlic, diced plantains, and diced jalapeno. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 5-8 minutes until onion is tender.
- Remove from heat and stir in BUSH’S® Chili Beans. Divide the plantain chili bean mixture evenly between tortilla cups.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, then remove and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Bake for 3-5 minutes so that cheese melts.
- While taco cups are baking, mash 1 ripe avocado in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and a little fresh lime juice. Mash together until well combined.
- Top each taco cup with your mashed avocado and a sprinkle of cilantro. Add a little hot sauce on top if you’d like! Makes 12 taco cups.
Notes
If you cannot find the BUSH’S® Black Beans in a Mild Chili Sauce, you can use any of their other chili sauce varieties.
If you can’t find plantains where you live, I suggest replacing it with 3/4 cup corn or cooked and diced sweet potato.
*I have tried these with Siete grain-free almond flour and cashew flour tortillas and they worked wonderfully!
