Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons ground cumin
4 teaspoons chili powder
2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans black beans or 2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup salsa (medium or hot)
salt
hot sauce
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
20 taco shells, heated
salsa
diced zucchini
shredded lettuce
cilantro leaf
diced avocado, tossed with a
1 dash lime
grated cheddar cheese
sliced green onion
red bell peppers or yellow bell pepper
lime wedge

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil, over medium heat.
  • Add in the onion and garlic; sauté, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until the onion is clear.
  • Add in the cumin and chili powder; stir for about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the beans and salsa; mash with the back of a wooden spoon or a potato masher until the mixture is your preferred state of chunky or smooth.
  • Season with salt and hot sauce to taste.
  • Transfer bean mixture to a casserole dish.
  • Top with 1/3 cup shredded cheese.
  • Cook at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or until heated through and starts to brown.
  • Remove from oven.
  • I let everyone assemble their own tacos and set out the bean mixture, taco shells, and all the toppings out on the table.
  • Here is how I make mine: I spoon the bean mixture into the taco shell, then add salsa, lettuce, avocado and cheese; then I squeeze a little lime over the top.
  • Feel free to add as many or as few toppings as your shell will hold.
