Vegan Mexican-style Bean Tacos

Tacos are one of those basic dishes of Mexican food that we can veganize with a delicious result. In this recipe, the arugula and avocado stand out together with the beans .

Arugula is very high in vitamin C (62 milligrams per 100 grams). However, there is a lot of nitrate in the leaf stems, hence it is important to remove them and keep only the leaves.

It also contains magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, calcium, iron, and potassium. Regarding its vitamin content, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6 and vitamin E stand out. All these benefits with only 27 calories per 100 grams.

For its part, avocado has a fat content of 23%. But despite this, it is a very healthy food, since the fat in avocado is monounsaturated like that of olive oil. It also provides vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants that catapult it to the list of superfoods.

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 150 g whole wheat flour
• 150 g of corn flour
• 230 ml of lukewarm water
• 3 g of salt

For the filling

• cooked red beans
• 100 g of arugula leaves
• 1 avocado
• 1 medium onion
• Hot paprika to taste
• Salt

Elaboration:

1. You must get a good dough. To do this, it is advisable to prepare it and let it cool in the fridge for a few hours.
2. The first thing you have to do is mix the flours so that they are completely homogeneous. Then heat the water with the salt until it is warm and add it to the flour. Mix until you have a dough that will have a tendency to stick to your hands, but when it cools you will see that it is easier to work.
3. You wrap it in biodegradable film and let it rest for a minimum of 1 hour.
4. Meanwhile, chop the onion into small cubes and place it in a bowl with a quarter teaspoon of salt and a bit of hot paprika. Massage it with your hands to start a slight fermentation and leave it at room temperature for a few hours, so that the acidity of the onion is reduced and it acquires the spicy taste of paprika.
5. Heat a pan over medium heat, stretch the dough very thin, with the help of a rolling pin and a little cornmeal, and cook it in the pan. It will be ready when it changes color.
6. Finally, fill the taco with the beans, arugula leaves, the diced avocado and the fermented onion with the paprika. And enjoy the tacos!
