Ingredients :

Taco shells : 10 pieces
Beans : 2 cups chopped very finely
potato : 1 small boiled and chopped finely
carrot : 1/2 cup chopped finely and boiled
peas : 1/2 cup boiled
onion : 1/2 cup chopped finely

corriander leaves : 1/4 cup chopped finely
lime juice : 1/2 tsp
salt : to taste


Heat the oil in a pan and add in the mustard seeds and allow them to crackle. Then add in the cumin seeds and onions. Keep mixing in order to avoid burning and aticking to the bottom.Once the onions turn translucent add in the gingergarlic paste,turmeric and green chillies. Add the beans also and keep mixing. After the beans are cooked add in the potatoes,carrot and green peas. Now add the salt,corriander powder and chat masala. Switch off the stove and add the chopped corriander leaves and lime juice. Give it a nice mix.

Place the taco shells in the microwave and heat them for about 1 min for 5 tacos. Now place this cooked mixture in between them and serve hot with tomato sauce or ketchup.

(Heating time for tacos may be different in different microwaves so watch them out.)
