Ingredients

4 servings
Black beans2 cans (15 oz each)
Onion1 medium
Garlic3 cloves
Olive oil2 tbsp
Corn1 cup
Tomato1 medium
Cilantro1/4 cup

Method

1

Dice the bell pepper, onion, and tomato. Mince the garlic. If using ground meat, have it ready to cook.

2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper; sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened.

3

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. If using ground meat, add it now and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no longer pink (5–7 minutes); drain excess fat if needed.

4

Add drained black beans, corn, diced tomato, and taco seasoning. Stir to combine.

5

Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors meld. Taste and adjust seasoning.

6

Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for 20–30 seconds per side.

7

Transfer skillet to a trivet or let cool 1 minute. Serve warm directly from the skillet or spoon onto plates. Garnish with fresh cilantro, squeeze lime juice over top, and serve with warm tortillas and salsa on the side.
