Prep (Pinto Beans)

Soak (Overnight Method): Place 1 cup SIMPLi Regenerative Organic Certified Pinto Beans in a large bowl, cover with plenty of water, and soak overnight (about 12 hours). Drain and rinse before cooking.

Quick-Boil Method: Add 1 cup beans and 4 cups water to a pot. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse.

Make the Chipotle Sauce: Add chipotle, tomato purée, vegetable broth, olive oil, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to a food processor. Blend until smooth.
Cook the Beans in Sauce: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chipotle sauce and cooked pinto beans, stirring to coat. Simmer for 4–5 minutes until warmed through and flavors meld. Remove from heat.
Make the Creamy Avocado Sauce: Rinse out the food processor, then add avocado, garlic, vegan yogurt, cilantro, salt, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Assemble Tacos: Fill tortillas with chipotle pinto beans and top with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Finish with a drizzle of creamy avocado sauce.
