Sweet Snappy Barbecue Bean Tacos Vegan

I was surprised to see my children devour plate after plate of these tacos. We served them with grilled yellow squash because I had it in my fridge, but feel free to keep this meal simple and serve up the BBQ beans with the slaw and a bit of avocado and tomato to top it all off. Splendidly simple and full of flavor. Especially fun when you serve with both soft white corn tortillas and hard white corn taco shells to expand the dinner options.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 yellow squash cut into long "stalks"
  • 1 teaspoon GOYA Adobo seasoning found in the Mexican food section of Whole Foods
  • 1 can pinto beans drained
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons beer mustard
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup purple cabbage finely shredded
  • 1 cup cabbage finely shredded
  • 2 tablespoons Vegenaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 4 soft white corn tortillas warmed
  • 4 white corn taco shells warmed
  • Limes for garnish

Method
 

  1. Optional First Step (Skip this portion of the recipe if you're trying to keep it super simple!)
  2. Heat the tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the cut squash into your hot pan, season generously with GOYA Adobo seasoning and allow to cook until the squash is very soft. Set aside.
  3. In a small pan, combine the beans, ketchup, mustard, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, and 3 tablespoons of maple syrup. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
  4. While your beans are cooking, toss the cabbage, remaining vinegar, remaining maple syrup, Vegenaise, and cilantro together until the cabbage is well coated.
  5. Mix the tomatoes and avocado together.
  6. Serve the beans and grilled squash in the taco shells, topped with slaw and avocado-tomato salad. A squeeze of fresh lime juice finishes it off to perfection. Enjoy!
