Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 2 lbs ground beef, or ground chicken, or 3-4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 2 packets Taco seasoning, or 4 tsp chili powder, 3 tsp cumin, 1 tsp paprika, salt & pepper to taste
  • 15 oz can black beans, drained

  • Optional sides: Mexican rice, refried beans, chips and salsa
  • See notes for homemade guac ingredients

Method
 

  1. 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).
    2. To make these very fast and simple, just warm some shredded rotisserie chicken with the beans, and season the same as the beef.
  2. Warm tortillas and then assemble- beef & beans, cheese, and toppings of choice. Serve with refried beans, Mexican rice, and/or chips and salsa!

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.*
