Notes

  • For a vegan version, use a dairy-free yogurt or sour cream alternative.
  • Black beans or chickpeas can be substituted for white beans.
  • Store the buffalo beans separately from toppings in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat beans in an oven, air fryer, or skillet to restore crispness.
  • Cooked beans can be frozen for up to 2 months; assembled tacos are not ideal for freezing.
  • Add avocado, jalapeños, corn, or guacamole for extra flavor and texture.
