Super Easy Vegetarian Bean Tacos



Mexican food is a super favorite in our house. It is in stiff competition with Indian food for hubby's affection. We also love any holiday or excuse to make ethnic food. Everyone loves a theme menu, right?

Perfect for Cinco de Mayo, this is our favorite recipe for tacos, and is also the most ridiculously easy recipe ever.

Black Bean & Garbanzo Bean tacos

1 can Garbanzo Beans
1 can Black Beans
1 packet/3 tbsp Taco Seasoning

You will also need:

Taco Shells

Taco Toppings, such as:
Diced Tomatoes
Chopped Lettuce
Shredded Cheese
Sour Cream
Black Olives
Sauteed Onions


Taco Stuffing steps:
1. Open and empty both cans of beans, without draining liquids, into a large skillet. Add desired amount of taco seasoning. We add about 3 tablespoons from a large contianer of seasoning, but one small envelope of seasoning will also be fine. Mix seasoning into bean mixture.


2.With medium-high heat, bring beans and liquid to a simmer. Once at a simmer, stir often until thickened, about 5-10 minutes longer. For a saucier taco filling, take mixture off heat earlier.


Assemble your taco with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
