Zafrani Tacos

Zafrani Tacos

These lip-smacking tacos typically consist of a sautéed vegetable filling that includes saffron, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms, seasoned with Mexican spices such as cumin and chilli powder. The filling is then stuffed into warm tortillas and topped with fresh ingredients such as diced tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro. Saffron adds a unique flavour and a vibrant yellow colour to the dish, making it an exciting and delicious twist on traditional taco recipes.

 

Ingredients

 

Directions

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the cumin, smoked paprika, and saffron threads and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Add the black beans and quinoa to the skillet and stir until heated through—season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and pliable.
  • To assemble the tacos, spoon the black bean and quinoa mixture onto the tortillas. Top with avocado, jalapeños, cilantro, queso fresco, and a squeeze of lime.
  • Serve and enjoy your zafrani tacos!
