These White Bean Buffalo Tacos are filled with poblano peppers, salsa verde, white beans & buffalo sauce. Served with a creamy vegan cilantro sauce, but are great on their own. I have made these twice in less than two weeks, they are fantastic. I got the original recipe from This Savory Vegan and tweaked it to my liking, Im sure her way is just as good but this is how I made them. I dont normally fry things either but this was just a little bit so I didnt mind as much. Plus all things in quantity right?
Prep Time 10 minutes Cook Time 20 minutes Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients For the Tacos
1 tablespoon oil plus more for frying
½ yellow onion diced
1 poblano pepper deseeded and diced (I only used half)
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 15-ounce can white beans drained and rinsed
¼ cup salsa verde
⅓ cup buffalo sauce
8 taco-sized tortillas or I used the corn street tacos to make mini tacos and it made 16 of them
romaine, cilantro, lime wedges for serving

For The Cilantro Sauce
½ bunch cilantro
1 jalapeño chopped (I used a half)
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
½ cup vegan mayo
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried chives
salt to taste

Instructions
Add all of the sauce ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Set aside. Heat the oil in a skillet and add the onion, poblano and dry seasonings. Cook down for a couple of minutes, stirring frequently. Add the beans, salsa verde and buffalo sauce. Stir to combine and simmer for about 5 minutes. gently mash some of the beans and remove from the heat. Add some of the bean mixture to each tortilla and fold to close. Heat a little oil* in a skillet and fry each taco until browned on both sides - working in batches. Serve hot with the cilantro sauce, and any optional toppings.
I am such a fan of this recipe, like I cant wait to have it again. If you end up trying these let me know :)
As always thanks for reading
