(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Mexican

Ingredients

  • 14.5 oz Canned Black Beans
  • Red Onion
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • Green Onion
  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 tbsp Taco Seasoning
  • 4 oz Salsa
  • 2 oz Queso Fresco
  • 6 Corn Tortillas

Directions

  1. Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Rinse and drain the black beans. Chop onion, setting aside 1/4 cup. Slice red bell pepper into long thin strips. Dice green onion. Heat a medium pan over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil, then add bell pepper and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and reserve.

  2. Using the same pan, add beef and cook over medium heat until it begins to brown, about 3-4 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break beef up into small pieces as it cooks. Add chopped onion and cook for 2 minutes. Then add taco seasoning, salsa, and black beans. Stir together and cook for another 2 minutes.

  3. Crumble the queso fresco. Assemble 2-3 tacos per person. Scoop a generous amount of beef and black bean mixture onto tortillas and top with sautéed bell peppers, crumbled queso fresco, and green onion.
