1
Prepare the Filling
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2
Warm the Tortilla
While the filling is cooking, warm the flour tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
3
Assemble the Taco
Place the cooked meat and vegetable filling in the center of the warm tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.
4
Prepare the Sides
In a separate pot, heat the black beans and white rice until warm. You can also season the rice with salt if desired.
5
Serve
Serve the taco alongside the warm black beans, white rice, and tortilla chips.
