bean filling

Taco stuffing option

Bean filling is a sweet or savory paste made from cooked, mashed beans, used as a stuffing in pastries, buns, and dumplings.

In East Asian cuisines, sweetened red bean paste (from adzuki beans) fills mooncakes, mochi, and steamed buns.

Savory versions appear in Latin American tamales and empanadas: The empanadas had a spiced black bean filling.
