Black Bean Potato Tacos

Ingredients:

Soft tacos shells:

• 2 cups roughly chopped gold potatoes
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp pure maple syrup

Filling:

• ½ cup cooked black beans
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp chipotle powder
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 cup thinly sliced red, yellow, or orange bell peppers
• 2-3 tbsps fresh cilantro leaves, to serve
• 1-2 tbsps chopped green onion, to serve

Salsa:

• 1 cup diced tomato
• ¼ cup red, yellow, or white onion, finely chopped
• ¼ cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
• ½ garlic clove, finely minced
• 1 tsp finely chopped ripe hot pepper of your choice
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin (optional)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.

To make the taco shells, add 3 inches of water to a medium pot, insert a steaming basket, add the potatoes, and cover. Once the water is boiling, steam the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes until soft. Remove the potatoes and place them in a food processor with the garlic powder, onion powder, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon out the potato mixture, making 3 or 4 dollops. Spread each dollop with a wet spatula to make 3 or 4 mini tortillas. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned. Remove and pat down with the spatula. Flip the parchment paper over onto a cutting board and gently peel back. Set the taco shells aside.

Add the cooked black beans, garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle powder, tomato paste, and lime juice to a small saucepan. Cook on medium-low heat for 3 to 5 minutes until the beans are soft. Add a bit of water if the mixture sticks to the pot.

To make the salsa, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.

Fill the soft taco shells with the bell peppers, black beans, salsa, cilantro, and green onion. Serve immediately.

Tips:

• Look for a tomato paste that contains only tomatoes and no other ingredients, such as salt or citric acid.
