Taco Shells

Filling

Method

Preparation of Taco Shells

  1. 1

    Prepare Taco Shells

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the taco shells lightly with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Bake the Taco Shells

    Bake the taco shells in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.

Preparation of Filling

  1. 3

    Cook the Ground 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. 4

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the ground beef and stir to combine.

  3. 5

    Add Water

    Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 6

    Heat Black Beans

    In a separate pot, heat the black beans over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

  5. 7

    Prepare Toppings

    Chop the lettuce and dice the tomato into small pieces. Set aside.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble Tacos

    Once the taco shells are ready and the filling is cooked, begin assembling the tacos by placing a spoonful of the beef mixture in each taco shell.

  2. 9

    Add Toppings

    Top each taco with black beans, shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and salsa.

  3. 10

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while they are warm, garnished with additional salsa if desired.
