Mom’s Garbanzo Bean Tacos

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups garbanzo beans or 1 15 or 16 ounce can, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning or the whole package 
  • I cup water

Directions  

  1. My way: Drain the beans and using a potato masher, mash the beans until they’re crumbly but still have some texture. You can also do this in the saucepan. Then heat oil in a saucepan; add beans, taco seasoning, and all of the water. 
  2. Boil, and then simmer for about 30 minutes, until most of the liquid is gone.
  3. My mom’s way: Combine the beans and ¼ cup water in a food processor. Process until it looks crumbly, not smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides, add more water if needed.
  4. Heat oil in a saucepan and add beans, taco seasoning, and water. 
  5. Boil, and then simmer for about 30 minutes, until most of the liquid is gone.
  6. Warm and char some tortillas and top with your favorite fixings. I usually top with guacamole, pickled onion, slaw, cilantro, and salsa!
