The red bell pepper and onion add crunch.
Ingredients
California taco filling
- 1 15 1/2-oz. can navy or Great Northern beans, undrained
- 1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup minced red onion
- 1/2 cup low-fat grated Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese
Tortillas
- 10 6- to 8-inch corn or flour tortillas
Toppings, optional
Preparation
To make California Taco Filling: Put beans, red pepper and red onion into a saucepan, and cook over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook, stirring often, for 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in cheese, and season to taste.
To prepare Tortillas: Preheat a cast-iron skillet or griddle on stove over medium-high heat. Lay tortillas on skillet or griddle for about 10 seconds. Turn and warm other side. Remove from heat, and wrap in a napkin or dishcloth until ready to assemble tacos.
To assemble, set a tortilla on a plate, and spoon on some filling. Top as desired, roll up and eat.
