One-Pan Cheesy Black Bean Tacos
with Green Pepper & Smoky Red Pepper Crema
- Milk
- Wheat
- Soy
Don’t get us wrong, we’re always up for going out for tacos, but we absolutely love making them at home so that we can customize them to fit our EXACT craving. For this vegetarian version, we ditched the meat for a hearty filling of poblano and spiced black beans, then added not one, but TWO, kinds of cheese for maximum melt-factor, plus guacamole and a drizzle of smoky red pepper crema. Oh, and did we mention these are ready in just 15 minutes? That’s faster than waiting in line at your local taco spot.

Cooking Steps
-
Wash and dry produce.
-
Halve, deseed, and thinly slice green pepper crosswise into strips. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. TIP: If needed, add a splash of water to help green pepper soften.
-
While green pepper cooks, drain and rinse beans.
-
Once green pepper is softened, stir in scallion whites and 2 tsp Southwest Spice Blend (4 tsp for 4 servings). (Be sure to measure the Southwest Spice Blend—we sent more.) Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.
-
Add beans, Tex-Mex paste, and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4). Cook, stirring, until filling has combined and thickened, 2-3 minutes.
-
Sprinkle bean filling with cheddar and Mexican cheese blend. Cover pan until cheese melts, 1-2 minutes.
-
Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.
-
Divide tortillas between plates and fill with bean filling, guacamole, smoky red pepper crema, and scallion greens. Serve.
