Method

Prepare the Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Onion and Garlic

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, and corn. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes until everything is heated through.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 4

    Prepare the Taco Shells

    While the filling is cooking, preheat your oven according to taco shell package instructions. Arrange the taco shells on a baking sheet.

  2. 5

    Fill the Shells

    Once the filling is ready, carefully spoon the mixture into each taco shell, filling them generously.

Add Toppings

  1. 6

    Top with Fresh Ingredients

    Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese on top of the filling in each taco.

  2. 7

    Finish with Condiments

    Add a dollop of sour cream and sliced jalapeños to taste on each taco.
