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.

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!

Notes

I have this labeled as 4 serving but 6 tacos. We cut 2 in half so each person got 1 1/2 tacos. FYI

    These were really good! I was skeptical with black beans as the main ingredient, but cheese and all the flavors went well together. I drizzled it with Chick-fil-A Avocado Lime Ranch dressing and it was perfect! Thanks for sharing!
