Mexican Tacos Recipe-Vegetarian Mexican Tacos with Refried Beans

January 22, 2015 by PadhuSankar 3 Comments

​Tacos are a traditional and very popular Mexican dish. ​Tacos can be made with a variety of fillings​ like chicken, ​​minced meat​, pork,​​ vegetables​ ​etc and garnishes such as salsa, guacamole, tomatoes, sour cream, lettuce etc. Traditionally, soft-shelled tacos​ are​ referred to​ as​ corn tortillas. Beginning from the early part of the twentieth century, various styles of tacos have become popular in the United States and Canada, like the hard-shell, U-shaped version (source wiki). When I was in London, I went to Chipotle many times and enjoyed Mexican​/Tex-Mex​ food. They serve delicious burritos and tacos. My favorite was ​the ​crispy shell tacos filled with beans, grilled vegetables, mild salsa ​and ​with lettuce and guacamole topping​s​. This Vegetarian Tacos is so easy to make and packed with full of healthy ingredients.
