Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour (also called gram flour or besan)
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, or oat)
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black salt (kala namak, for egg-like flavor, optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil (for cooking)
- 0.5 cup cooked black beans
- 0.25 cup diced red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 unit avocado (sliced)
- 0.25 cup salsa (your choice of mild, medium, or spicy)
- 2 tablespoons vegan sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 2 unit lime wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, turmeric, salt, and black salt (if using).
Gradually add the plant-based milk and water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you achieve a smooth, pancake-like batter. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and onion, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the black beans and taco seasoning. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to fully warm through and coat the beans in seasoning, then transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean and heat another 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Pour half of the chickpea batter into the skillet, tilting it to spread evenly into a round omelette shape.
Cook the omelette for 3-5 minutes, until bubbles form and the edges start to lift slightly. Flip the omelette carefully using a spatula, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Once cooked, transfer the omelette to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make the second omelette.
Fill each omelette with the sautéed veggie and black bean mixture. Fold the omelette in half to enclose the filling.
Top with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and a dollop of salsa. Optionally, add vegan sour cream or serve with a lime wedge for an extra burst of flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your Vegan Taco Omelette!
