Smoky Red Bean Tacos
Dry red beans soaked overnight, cooked low and slow with a mix of spices including yellow curry, smoked paprika swapped for ancho chili, and toasted fennel replacing cumin. Braised with fire-roasted tomatoes, chipotle in adobo, honey, and fresh lime juice. Served in warm tortillas with crunchy julienned radishes, fresh cilantro, pickled onions, and crumbled feta cheese. Roasting time adjusted for texture. Batching and soaking help layers build. A citrus twist in the finish. Bright, smoky, and spicy. Vegan if feta omitted. Balanced between heat, sweet, tang, and herbaceous tones.

Tacos crisp with a soft interior, layered with textures. Includes adjustments to spices and added jalapeño for heat.
