Veggie tacos are great because you still get the satisfying crunch (or, if you prefer soft tacos, that's fine too) without all the saturated fat in ground beef. You can have seconds without feeling guilty! Everyone wins.

Yield 12 tacos, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, diced

2 (15 ounce) cans refried black beans
1/2 cup salsa

2 cups lettuce, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onions, garlic and peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, about 10 minutes.

  • Add the tomatoes and sauté them for about 2 more minutes.
  • Stand the taco shells up in a large casserole dish.
  • Fill each taco shell with bean mixture, then veggie mixture, then cheese.
