White Bean and Potato Tacos

These are the best White Bean and Potato Tacos you’ve ever had! What?

You’ve never had white bean and potato tacos before? Well, you’re in for a treat.

These tacos are super yummy, with a hint of smoky chipotle from the chipotle paste. The sauce is well-rounded with sweet and tangy white onions, tomato paste, and a little sugar. And, they have that creaminess that potatoes and white beans give. Just all around a perfect taco filling!

How to use leftovers

The filling is great as leftovers as well. I even made a taco bowl out of the leftovers with lots of cabbage, rice, salsa, cheese, and corn and sent the taco bowl to work with my husband for lunch. It was a huge hit!

Top it off

And, you can top the whole thing off with whatever you choose. I highly recommend going with a chipotle salsa here, just to reinforce that chipotle smokiness; you can make your own, like my Tomato-Chipotle Salsa, or buy some like Frontera or Casa Martinez (that was on sale at my grocery store recently & is pretty delicious).

Speed it up

If you want to make this even faster for a weeknight meal, just pierce the potato a couple of times with a fork or sharp knife and microwave it for 5-7 minutes, depending on the size of the potato and your microwave’s power, until the potato is tender all the way through when pierced with a fork.

If you cook the potato in the microwave, just use water or vegetable broth in place of the cooking liquid in the recipe.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 medium russet potato cut into ¼ – ½-inch cubes
• 1 teaspoon olive oil or light tasting oil of your choice
• ½ white onion chopped
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• ¼ cup tomato paste

Instructions
