Instructions

1

Prepare Vegetables and Bean Filling

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, cook for 5-6 minutes until softened. Drain and rinse black beans, then add to the skillet along with taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir well and cook for 3-4 minutes until beans are heated through and flavors are combined.

Pro Tip:

Don't overcook the vegetables - they should retain some texture and not become mushy

2

Warm Tortillas and Prepare Toppings

Warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or wrap in damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds. Arrange all toppings in separate bowls: shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and any additional desired toppings like sour cream or salsa.

Pro Tip:

Keep tortillas warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel until ready to serve

3

Assemble the Tacos

Place 2-3 tablespoons of the bean and vegetable mixture down the center of each warm tortilla. Top with shredded cheese while the filling is still hot so it melts slightly. Add fresh lettuce, diced tomatoes, and any other desired toppings.

Pro Tip:

Don't overfill the tacos or they'll be difficult to fold and eat

4

Serve and Garnish

Fold tortillas in half and arrange on serving plates. Garnish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and serve with additional salsa or hot sauce on the side. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.

Pro Tip:

Serve with Mexican rice and refried beans for a complete meal, or enjoy as a light dinner
