Ingredients
Taco Shells
Filling
- 1 cup Soy Chunks soaked in warm water and chopped
- 2 tbsp Cucumber chopped
- 1 tbsp Tomato chopped
- 2 tbsp Bell Peppers chopped, red and yellow
- 1 can Vegetables carrots, chopped (e.g., mixed, sweet corn)
- 2 Spring Onions chopped, medium-sized, with greens
- 5 clove Garlic chopped
Mint-Hung Curd
- 1 cup Hung Yogurt
- 1 cup Mint Leaves fresh, packed
- 4 Chillies green
- 5 clove Garlic
- 1 tbsp Pomegranate Seeds anardana
- 1 tbsp Jaggery or sugar or honey
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 0.25 cup Coriander Leaves dhania, chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the leftover chapatis on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. This allows for even baking and crispness.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chapatis are lightly golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and carefully lift them off the rack while still warm to prevent them from hardening and breaking.
- While the chapatis bake, prepare the filling. Chop all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped garlic and spring onions until fragrant and softened. Add the carrots, soy chunks, sweet corn, and bell peppers. Cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- To make the mint-hung curd, combine the hung curd, mint leaves, green chilies, garlic, pomegranate seeds, jaggery, and salt in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the sautéed vegetables, cucumber, tomato, and fresh coriander into the mint-hung curd mixture. This adds a burst of freshness and balances the flavors.
- Fill each chapati shell with the vegetable and mint-hung curd mixture. You can add a dollop of your favorite chutney or sauce for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful and satisfying snack or meal.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crunch, lightly brush the chapatis with a mixture of olive oil and a pinch of smoked paprika before baking them into taco shells.
- For a vegan version, replace hung curd with thick coconut yogurt or cashew cream blended with fresh mint and a dash of lemon juice.
- To prevent the veggie filling from making the taco shells soggy, toss the chopped veggies with a little salt and let them sit for 5 minutes, then squeeze out any excess moisture before assembling.
- For an eye-catching presentation, garnish the tacos with pomegranate seeds or microgreens just before serving.
Expert Tips
- Warm the chapatis slightly before filling to make them more pliable and prevent cracking.
- Get creative with your fillings! Try adding roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, or corn for a heartier taco.
- Don't overfill the tacos, as this can make them difficult to eat and messy.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover filling and taco shells separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat the filling in a microwave or skillet before reassembling the tacos. Crisp up the shells in a dry skillet or oven before serving.
