The Veg tacos of your dreams
Growing up, taco night always meat a packet of taco seasoning and a pound of ground beef. Now that I’ve cut back on my meat consumption, we’ve found lots of DELICIOUS ways to enjoy vegetarian tacos.
Why you’ll love these:
- SUPER EASY – these only require around 15 minutes of chopping and sautéing. After that, they get popped in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Crunchy and delicious – I have really fallen in LOVE with crunchy tacos. The cheese on the outside also gets crispy and it’s delicious.
- Meal-preppable – you can sauce the veggies ahead of time so that night of, these only take FIVE minutes to throw together.
- Customizable – you can swap the veggies, beans, or spices for whatever you prefer! I haven’t tried it but I also think this would be delicious with shredded tofu.
Ingredients needed:
- Tortillas – I’ve made these with flour AND corn tortillas. The size also doesn’t really matter- you can make big or small tacos as desired.
- Beans – black beans are great in this recipe but really any beans would work well. Chickpeas, white beans, even butterbeans.
- Spices – A nice mixture of aromatics to get that delicious taco taste.
- Onion, garlic + poblano pepper – Jalapeno would also be delicious mixed in!
- Cheese – I used a Mexican cheese blend for this recipe but plain cheddar or a mix also works well.

Sheet Pan Black Bean Tacos
Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium poblano pepper, deseeded & diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ white onion, diced
- 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded cheese, I used Pepper Jack but really any melty cheese would work well
- 6 medium Corn or flour tortillas*
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add in the poblano pepper, garlic, and onion and sauté for 5 minutes.
- Next, add in the black beans, chili powder, salt, cumin, and salt. Sauté for 5 more minutes so that everything is heated through. Stir in your cilantro and remove from the heat.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Lay your tortillas out on the pan and spray them with cooking spray. Flip them over and bake them for 2-3 minutes to make them pliable so they don’t crack.
- Take the pan out of the oven and layer each tortilla on one side with cheese, your bean mixture and a little more cheese on top. Fold the other side of the tortilla over your filling and press down gently so that it sticks together. Top each taco with a sprinkle of cheese on the top.
- Once they’re all assembled, place the pan back in the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes or until the cheese has melted and your tortillas are crispy.
- Serve and ENJOY!

These were so good! I used homemade black beans and adobe chile powder because we didn’t have a poblano. The crunchiness of the folded tortillas is so delightful.
I also made your Instant Pot Mexican Rice.
This recipe is a keeper–thank you!
Made this last night and it was a hit. So tasty and easy to make. Will be making this one all the time.
Made these last night and they were so good. My husband loved them so much I will definitely be making these on repeat.
Well, I don’t eat or cook with cheese, so guess I’ll never know how tasty these are! I generally substitute nutritional yeast in some dishes that call for cheese. But I’m avoiding all cows milk and cheese, and I don’t need the extra fats even from vegan cheeses.
VioLife makes a great shredded cheddar. I’ll be making this soon completely vegan. I’m sure it’s going to be awesome!
