Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade blend)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas (for tacos) or 4 large flour tortillas (for burritos)
- Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, avocado
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Add onion and garlic to the skillet; cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add black beans and stir until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- For tacos: Warm tortillas. Fill each with beef mixture and top with cheese and desired toppings. For burritos: Place a large tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon beef mixture down the center, top with cheese and other fillings. Fold in sides and roll tightly.
- Serve immediately.
Tips
- For a lighter version, use ground turkey or chicken.
- Leftover filling can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated.
- Customize with your favorite taco toppings like pickled jalapeños or hot sauce.
