Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 1 cup Refried Beans Acts as a creamy base; substitute with black bean puree for a healthier option.
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree Use canned or freshly cooked pumpkin, avoiding spiced versions.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese For a vegan option, substitute with nutritional yeast or vegan cheese.
Tacos
  • 8 pieces Tortillas Use gluten-free tortillas if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons Oil Adjust the quantity for desired crispiness.

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by laying out your gluten-free tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Brush each tortilla lightly with oil if you want them extra crispy. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of refried beans on each tortilla. Add a generous spoonful of pumpkin puree, followed by a handful of shredded cheese.
  3. Fold the filled tortillas in half and place them in the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Remove the tacos from the skillet and let them rest. Serve hot with toppings like fresh avocado, zesty salsa, or a squeeze of lime.
