Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups canary beans, left to soak overnight (any beans will do but the canary beans are nutty and sweet)
1 cups of cooked rice (you could use brown rice if you prefer)
juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
salt and pepper
you can also add green or red chili to taste. this dish is normally made with peruvian yellow chili

Directions:

Drain and cook beans in unsalted water until soft (about 90 minutes). Set aside and let cool. Mash beans with a spoon or fork, just enough to obtain a rough purée.
In a large skillet, sauté in hot oil the garlic and onions until golden. Add the beans and rice, stirring and turning over with a wooden spoon to mix well. Salt and pepper to taste. add lime juice.
To make the tacu-tacu, fry each serving of the beans & rice mixture slightly (in vegetable or olive oil, turning it constantly) and shape into a compact tortilla or tamale.
Serve with anything you like
