Prep (Pinto Beans)
Soak (Overnight Method): Place 1 cup SIMPLi Regenerative Organic Certified Pinto Beans in a large bowl, cover with plenty of water, and soak overnight (about 12 hours). Drain and rinse before cooking.
Quick-Boil Method: Add 1 cup beans and 4 cups water to a pot. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse.
- Make the Chipotle Sauce: Add chipotle, tomato purée, vegetable broth, olive oil, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to a food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Cook the Beans in Sauce: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chipotle sauce and cooked pinto beans, stirring to coat. Simmer for 4–5 minutes until warmed through and flavors meld. Remove from heat.
- Make the Creamy Avocado Sauce: Rinse out the food processor, then add avocado, garlic, vegan yogurt, cilantro, salt, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Tacos: Fill tortillas with chipotle pinto beans and top with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Finish with a drizzle of creamy avocado sauce.
