Prepare Proteins

  1. 1

    Cook Ground Beef

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

    Cook Chicken Breast

    In another skillet, add the chicken breast and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 6-8 minutes per side. Let it rest, then shred or chop.

    Prepare Black Beans

    Heat the black beans in a small pot over medium heat until warm. Season with taco seasoning and a pinch of salt. Stir well.
