Saloni Kukreja's Crunchy Bean And Cheese Tacos Are The Ultimate Quick Comfort Meal

Food influencer Saloni Kukreja shares one of her easiest, most satisfying weeknight meals, crispy bean and cheese tacos that strike the perfect balance between crunch, creaminess, and bold, fresh flavour. Packed with soft, mashed rajma, gooey mozzarella, and a zingy salsa, these tacos are her go‑to when she's craving something fun, filling, and fuss‑free. Think comfort food with a bright, zesty kick and an Indian twist.

A Crispy–Creamy Match Made In Heaven:

What makes these tacos irresistible is the contrasting texture. The outer layer, regular whole‑wheat or all‑purpose rotis, crisp up beautifully in the pan, offering the crunch of a hard‑shell taco without the effort of making one from scratch. Inside, a generous spread of mashed rajma gives the filling of its hearty base. Pressure‑cooked till extremely soft, the beans are seasoned simply with salt, lime juice, and a splash of their own cooking liquid to achieve a silky, smooth mash.

Layer that with freshly grated mozzarella, fold the roti, and toast until golden brown, and you get that perfect bite: crunchy outside, melty inside.

A Salsa That Brightens Everything:

No taco is complete without fresh toppings, and Saloni's quick salsa adds brightness to every bite. Diced onions and tomatoes mingle with chopped green chillies, coriander, lime juice, salt, and chilli‑lime seasoning to create a refreshing, spicy, tangy spoonful. It cuts through the richness of the cheese and beans, giving the taco the pop of freshness it needs.

Right before serving, she opens up the crisped taco, adds a scoop of salsa and a drizzle of chipotle mayo, adding smokiness, heat, and creaminess in one go.

An Easy, Adaptable Meal For Every Mood:

These tacos are more than a recipe; they're a mood fix. Whether you're cooking one or feeding a crowd, they're easy to scale, customizable, and rely on pantry staples. Swap rajma for black beans, skip the mayo for a lighter version, or add leftover veggies; this base works with almost anything.

Serve them hot, and enjoy a crunchy, comforting meal that feels indulgent without any of the effort.
