Taco Toast

Sep 09, 2024

By Esther Boateng

Love tacos? Me too. They’re family friendly, super tasty, and easy to make when you want a quick bite. But as the saying goes, too much of a good thing is bad for you. If you’re looking for an alternative to classic tacos, why not try taco toast?

Taco toast has all the hallmarks of regular tacos: guacamole, black beans, pico de gallo, plus nutrient dense natto, aka fermented soya beans. If you’re new to the unique gooey texture and distinct earthy taste of natto, and you’re not sure how to use it, here’s an effortless way to incorporate it into your taco recipe.

Combine a spoonful of natto together with cooked black beans, mash them until you get a paste like consistency, add wild ramp, peppersalt, and olive oil, and spread it on your sourdough toast. Add the rest of your toppings, along with your choice of protein, and garnish with your favorite topping or add another fermented ingredient such as kimchi or sauerkraut.

Recipe Note

Tips:

I soak my black beans overnight and then pressure cook them in an Instapot on the bean setting for 5 mins with water. When they’re cooked, drain the water, and let it cool slightly before you start mashing them. If the mixture starts to thicken too much, add a little water or extra olive oil. If you make a bigger batch of the black bean mixture, a food processor will come in handy.
