Delicious, easy, and filling tacos that are warm and crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside.
These crispy tacos have become a family favorite recently. I love it because I can make them for a crowd, pack them for lunch, or even serve for dinner. They are incredibly filling and so easy to make that it seems unbelievable.
Whenever Taco Tuesday rolls around, the whole family gets excited. Especially Aishani. She’s a crispy anything lover so she was extremely excited about these crispy tacos. What makes me happy is the filling on this one. Normally I set out a taco bar so each person can make their own tacos. With these babies, I don’t have to worry about prepping toppings or cleaning so many bowls and dishes post dinner.
So I know that I have been raving about how easy this recipe is but I also need to talk to you about how healthy it is! With 6 gm protein and 5 gm fiber in each taco, you can’t go wrong.
What’s better is that you can meal prep the beans. Make them on the weekend and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. When it’s time to make your tacos, you only spend a few minutes filling the tortillas and frying up the tacos. Another alternative is pre-fill the tacos then place them in a ziploc bag and freeze them. Take them out when you are ready to eat them. All that is left to do is crisp them up.
As for serving them, I put out a delicious avocado cilantro lime sauce that almost has a creamy texture that is a great dip for almost any appetizer. Much healthier for sure and made in 2 minutes with fresh ingredients. You can also use salsa or even a garlic sriracha aioli to serve the tacos with.

For the filling:

- Fill half of each tortilla with bean filling and fold over. In another skillet, heat olive oil and add tacos. Cook each side 1-2 minutes until crispy.
For the sauce:
