Instructions

For Taco Filling

  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium high heat. Add taco seasoning, minced garlic, onion powder, and diced green chiles. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until garlic is fragrant.
  • Add black beans, tomato juice, cilantro, and salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, stir frequently, until most of the liquid evaporates, about 10-12 minutes.

For Tacos

  • Heat coconut oil over medium high heat. Cook a taco shell on one side. Then flip so the crispy side is facing up.
  • Place filling on 1/2 of the taco shell, ~2-3 tablespoons. Top with shredded cheese.
  • Close the taco and press down so the filling flattens a little bit. Cook on both sides until the outside of the taco is crispy. Repeat for the remaining tacos.
  • Serve with guacamole or salsa.

Notes

Looking for a vegan or healthier alternative? 
  • Swap the Monterey Jack cheese for your favorite vegan cheese.
  • Opt for vegan sour cream.
  • Add in more fiber with cooked and mashed sweet potatoes to bulk up your tacos and make them even more delicious!
