  • 15 oz white beans cannellini or great northern, drained and rinsed
  • 0.33 cup buffalo sauce plus more for dipping
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp cumin

  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Drain and rinse the white beans. Place them in a bowl with buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
  2. Mash the beans until mostly smooth but with some texture remaining.
  3. Lay out tortillas. Sprinkle cheese on one half, top with bean mixture, and add a little more cheese.
  4. Fold the tortillas over to close them.
  5. Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  6. Fry tacos in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve hot with ranch dressing and fresh cilantro.

Notes

Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option, but ensure they are warm before folding to prevent cracking.
