I believe the answer is:

attractive

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tasty' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'fatty tart regularly full of beans' is the wordplay.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'full of beans' becomes 'active' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'fatty'+'tart'='fattytart'
The alternating letters of 'fattytart' are 'attr'.
'attr'+'active'='ATTRACTIVE'
