Mexican Tacos, Vegetarian Tacos Recipe recipe with step by step photos
For the crisp tortillas for Mexican Tacos
- To make the Mexican Tacos, we will first have to make the tortillas. In a deep bowl, add the maize flour. Maize flour is traditionally used to make tortillas.
- Then add the maida to it. Maida is used here for binding the dough together.
- Now add the oil. This is added for crispiness. When you add a certain amount of fat in any dough while deep frying, the dough crisps up well.
- Add the salt to taste.
- Knead the flours into a semi-soft dough using enough water. The dough shouldn’t be too soft or too hard.
- Divide the dough into 15 equal portions.
- Take a rolling board and sprinkle a little flour on it.
- Take a portion of the dough and flatten it on the rolling board.
- Roll the portion into a 75 mm. (3”) diameter thin circle using a little plain flour for rolling.
- Prick the tortilla evenly with a fork. This is done to avoid puffing up of the tortilla.
- Repeat steps 7 to 10 to make 14 more tortillas.
- Heat the oil in a deep-non-stick kadhai and deep-fry a few tortillas at a time on a medium flame till they turn crisp and golden brown in colour from all the sides.
- Drain on an absorbent paper and keep aside.
For the rajma topping for Mexican Tacos
- Add the rajma in a pressure cooker. These rajma (kidney beans) beans are washed and soaked for at least 8 hours. This helps the rajma cook faster.
- Add 1½ cups of water to the cooker.
- Finally add salt and mix well.
- Shut the lid and pressure cook for 4 whistles. Allow the steam to escape before opening the lid. Do not drain the water and keep aside.
- Heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan.
- Add the onions for their pungency.
- Then add the garlic paste as well.
- Mix well and sauté on a medium flame for 1 minute. The onions should not be over cooked as we still want them to retain a bite.
- Add the tomato pulp to this. You can buy readymade tomato pulp or you can make Tomato Pulp at Home.
- Now add the tomato ketchup for a slight tang and sweetness in the rajma topping for the Mexican Tacos.
