1
Prepare Black Beans
Drain and rinse the black beans under cold water. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the black beans, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through and fragrant.
2
Prepare Lettuce
While the beans are cooking, wash the lettuce thoroughly. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and set aside in a bowl.
3
Warm Taco Shells
Preheat your oven according to the taco shell package instructions. Once preheated, arrange the taco shells on a baking sheet and warm them for about 5-7 minutes until crispy.
4
Assemble Tacos
Once the black beans are ready and the taco shells are warmed, start assembling your tacos. Spoon a portion of the black beans into each taco shell, followed by a handful of chopped lettuce, a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese, and a spoonful of salsa.
5
Serve
Serve the assembled tacos immediately with extra salsa on the side, if desired.
