Meatless Tacos

 

With the price of meat these days it is refreshing to find recipes omitting meat altogether.  This is a very good recipe, best of all you don't even miss the meat :)

 

 

 

1 tsp. olive oil


1 cup diced onion


1/2 cup diced red bell pepper

1/2 cup diced green bell pepper

1 Tbsp. chili powder

2 tsp. dried oregano


1 tsp. ground cumin


1 garlic clove -- minced

1 cup canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained


1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup canned pinto beans, rinsed and drained

1 (8-ounce) can no salt added tomato sauce

12 taco shells


3/4 cup shredded iceberg lettuce


3/4 cup diced tomato


1/2 cup finely shredded reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese

1/2 cups salsa 

 

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. 

Add onion and next 6 ingredients (onion through garlic), and sauté 2 minutes. 

Add chickpeas, beans, and tomato sauce. 

Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until thick. 

Prepare taco shells according to package directions. 

Spoon 1/4 cup bean mixture into each taco shell. 

Top each with lettuce, 1 tablespoon tomato, 2 teaspoons cheese, and 2 teaspoons salsa.
