Last summer our local mexican vegetable market had Peruvian beans and I went looking for authentic recipes to use them. The original recipe did not have garlic but I am one of those cooks that believes there can never be too much garlic or onions.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tacu tacu turned out mushy. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

I'm not a huge fan of plantains, but I thought they worked well in this dish. They added a nice sweetness and texture.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices or herbs.

Tacu tacu is a great way to use up leftover rice and beans. It's also a very affordable meal, which is always a plus.

I've made tacu tacu a few times now and it's quickly become a favorite. It's so flavorful and easy to make. I usually add a fried egg on top for extra yumminess.
