Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 bag Nacho Cheese Doritos
- 10 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 can Black beans
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 medium Bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 cup Lettuce
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or favorite blend)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 1 medium Lime
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion, garlic cloves, and bell pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the black beans, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper into the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is well blended and heated through.
While the bean mixture is cooking, finely shred the lettuce, dice the tomato, and chop the cilantro.
Slice the lime into wedges for serving.
In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas by lightly toasting each side for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
To assemble the tacos, take a Doritos chip and evenly spread the cooked bean mixture on top. Add a warmed tortilla over the beans, pressing gently to adhere.
Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra kick of freshness.
