Get dinner on the table in a flash with these Ten Minute Black Bean Tacos! It’s super simple with ingredients you probably already have in the pantry and some fresh toppings!
This is a recipe I’ve wanted to share with you forever! Here’s the problem…this is something I make frequently, but it’s usually on those nights when I haven’t planned dinner, I’ve been running around all day, there’s not much going on in the fridge and frankly…I’m exhausted. So, getting some images amidst that scenario wasn’t going to happen.
Truly though, it wasn’t just about getting images. I’ve never written this recipe in stone…because really, once you make this, you won’t need a recipe. I just wing it and it changes each time. Depending on how much time or ambition I have, sometimes I’ll chop an onion or mince some garlic…other times, I’ll simply whip out the onion powder and garlic powder. This is my basic recipe and it’s a good template, but make it your own and once you do, I bet this will become your favorite go-to for those nights you need a quick, family-friendly dinner.
