Soft Tacos
We love all the tacos, but sometimes a good classic soft taco just can't be beat. Warm seasoned beef, melty cheese, cold sour cream. YES PLEASE.
Ingredients
Method
- Brown the ground beef and drain excess fat. Add in drained black beans and taco seasoning. (If using taco seasoning packet, follow instructions for adding water).
- Warm tortillas and then assemble- beef & beans, cheese, and toppings of choice. Serve with refried beans, Mexican rice, and/or chips and salsa!
To make these very fast and simple, just warm some shredded rotisserie chicken with the beans, and season the same as the beef.
Notes
*For a fast & easy guacamole, score and scoop 3-4 avocados into a bowl, add in one well drained 10 oz can of diced tomatoes with chiles, the juice of one lime, salt and pepper to taste, and if desired, some cilantro. Mix well to combine. For a smoother guac, use a potato masher to mash avocados.*
