Spicy Bean and Cheese Soft Tacos

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 8 whole wheat tortillas (7-inch)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 canned chipotle pepper, in adobo, finely chopped, plus more for serving (optional)
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 cup store-bought green salsa, plus more for serving (optional)
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
  • 1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves
  • 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 4 ounces)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap tortillas in foil, place in oven, and warm while preparing the filling.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add scallions and garlic; cook 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in beans, chipotle, and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, season with salt and pepper; cook until slightly thickened and hot, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in salsa (if desired), corn, and lime juice; cook until heated through.
  3. Unwrap tortillas; spread yogurt over one side. Top with bean mixture, cilantro leaves, lettuce, and cheese. Fold tortillas over. Serve with salsa and chipotle, if desired.
