Method

Prepare the Protein

Cook Ground Beef or Chicken

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or chicken. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

Add Black Beans

If using black beans, drain and rinse them. Add them to the skillet and stir to combine.

Season the Meat

Sprinkle the taco seasoning (chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper) over the meat. Stir well to coat and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Prepare the Tortillas

Warm the Tortillas

In a separate skillet or on a griddle, heat the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable. For crispy tacos, fry in hot oil for about 1-2 minutes until golden.

Assemble the Tacos

Fill the Tortillas

Take a warm tortilla and add a generous portion of the cooked protein mixture into the center.

Add Toppings

Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and fresh cilantro to taste.

Serve

Enjoy Your Tacos

Fold the tortilla over the filling and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side if desired.
