Ingredients

  • 4 taco shells
  • 1/2 cup red kidney beans
  • 1 medium sized onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder
  • 1 teaspoon jeera
  • 2 tablespoon tomato sauce
  • 3 tablespoon cheese
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
  • salt for taste

Instructions

  • Soak rajma in water overnight for at least 6-8 hours. Pressure cook rajma for 5 whistles until soft. Set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a pan add cumin seeds allow it to crackle. Then add onions, sauté till slightly browned.
  • Then add the cooked rajma, pepper powder, tomato sauce, required salt and mix well. Once the rajma is well blended and is saucy, switch off. Sprinkle lemon juice and keep aside. Kidney Bean Salsa is ready.
  • Now to assemble the tacos with salsa : Take a tacos shell, add a heaped spoonful of prepared kidney bean salsa to it. Grate the cheese to cover the salsa and sprinkle little pepper powder.
  • Microwave it in high for 1 minute - this was mentioned in the carton. In my OTG I kept in bake mode and baked for 2 minutes at 200 DEG C till cheese slightly starts melting.

Notes

  • You can also add chunky tomato pieces, lettuce or even capsicum for the salsa.
  • The variation is endless you can also garnish it with coriander leaves.
  • Adding bean is purely your choice - You can also add corn with any bean of your choice in the salsa.
