tacos recipe | Mexican tacos recipe | Vegetarian Tacos | with 20 amazing images.

Travel into the heartlands of Mexico with hearty and satiating tacos, one of the most famous dishes of that region. A crispy taco shell, loaded with wholesome rajma topping and tangy uncooked salsa is a delight, which is enhanced further by peppy sauces, juicy lettuce and oh-so-yummy grated cheese!

It is a rustic experience, which warms the heart and fills the tummy with its sensual flavours and mealy textures. Serve the tacos as soon as they are assembled.

Notes on tacos recipe. 1. While the rajma mixture is being cooked, lightly mash rajma with the help of a potato masher. Do not mash completely, this is just to give it little consistency and thickness. 2. Then keep on cooking for some more time, while stirring occasionally. Once the excess moisture has evaporated, the rajma topping for the tacos is ready. 3. You should soak the lettuce leaves in ice-cold water for sometime and then chop them, which will give them a nice crunchy texture on the tacos.

tacos are very filling, they can be enjoyed as a meal by itself, but if you wish create a Mexican meal with side dishes like Chilli Rellenos, Fresh Fruit Salad with Basil Dressing, Crusty Potato Fingers, Mexican Cheese Fajita and Mexican Fried Rice.

    10. Then keep on cooking for some more time, while stirring occasionally. Once the excess moisture has evaporated, the rajma filling for the tacos is ready.
How to make the uncooked salsa for the tacos

 

    1. For the uncooked salsa topping,  in a bowl take finely chopped tomatoes.
    2. Add finely chopped spring onion whites and greens.
    3. Then add finely chopped green chillies and red chilli flakes for some spice.
    4. Then add dried oregano for a peppy flavour.
    5. Add finely chopped coriander.
    6. Very little sugar to balance the sourness of tomatoes.
    7. And finally add some salt to taste.
    8. Combine and mix all the ingredients for the uncooked salsa well and lightly mash with the back of a spoon. Uncooked salsa for the tacos is ready!        

For assembling the Mexican tacos

 

    1. Take a taco shell and put about 1 tablespoon of rajma filling.

    3. Then 1/2 teaspoon of tomato ketchup.
    4. Next ? teaspoon of chilli sauce.
    5. Some shredded iceberg lettuce over it. You should soak the lettuce leaves in ice-cold water for sometime and then chop them, which will give them a nice crunchy texture.
    6. And finally top it with grated processed cheese to the Mexican Tacos.
    7. Repeat with the remaining taco shells. Mexican Tacos are ready to serve!

Just okay. Don't fry the vegetables for the filling. As for green sauce, recipe prescribes 3 tbsp white flour, make it just 1 tsp white flour.
