Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed, 15 oz)
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade seasoning)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 8 small soft taco tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
  • Salsa (optional)
  • Lime wedges (optional)
  • Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Cook the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and cook for 2 minutes, until softened. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
  2. 2
    Add seasoning and black beans: Add the taco seasoning and water to the beef mixture. Stir well to coat the beef evenly. Add the black beans, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. 3
    Warm the tortillas: While the beef mixture is cooking, warm the taco tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or microwave them for 20 seconds.
  4. 4
    Assemble the tacos: Once the beef and black bean mixture is ready, spoon a generous portion onto each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, cheese, and a squeeze of lime, if desired.
  5. 5
    Serve: Serve immediately with your favorite taco sides, like rice, guacamole, or chips.
