Miss the plate much?

These tacos have that ZING! Black beans and onions simmered in a tangy fajita sauce. Crunchy corn tortillas and fresh veggies to offset the sauce. Yummmmmmmy. I used the Frontera Classic Fajita Skillet sauce for this recipe.

Close up to deliciousness

Now, I’m not a huge fan of flour tortillas, you will usually see me cooking with corn tortillas. I love how they crisp up when baked or fried. I am a big texture eater, I just love crunchy stuff! I grew up using those boxed corn tacos, which I still use from time to time, BUT if I want a treat I will form the taco shells myself! Plus you can use whats left over to make lime and chili tortilla chips. Then eat your left over taco fixings as a tacos salad with chips for lunch! Oh yeah!

What the filling hiding under all the toppings looks like.

Anyhoo, here is the recipe for my veggie tacos!

Buen provecho!

Vegetarian Fajita Tacos

Servings: 10 tacos

Ingredients

  • 1 package of Frontera Classic Fajita Skillet Sauce
  • 1 can black beans rinsed
  • 1 quarter red onion cut in long slices
  • 1 quarter green bell pepper cut in long slices
  • 1 ear of corn cooked or ½ can cooked corn
  • ½ cup shredded cabbage
  • Package of white or yellow corn tortillas
  • ½ tbsp oil
  • ½ cup chopped tomato
  • 1 Avocado chopped
  • Hot sauce like La Victoria Salsa Brava
  • Shredded Cheddar garnish
  • Sour cream garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Heat oil in non stick pan.
  • Saute onions and peppers till onions start to wilt.
  • Add beans, let cook for 3 minutes.
  • Mix in Frontera sauce. Cook for about 7 minutes or until peppers start to soften.
  • Place tortillas in the oven directly on shelf. Bake about 5 minutes, you want it to just start getting hard, but still pliable.
  • Take tortillas out of oven and immediately shape into taco shell shape. May want to use a paper towel, tortillas are hot to handle. You could always drape them over 2 grates and let the oven do the shaping, but I found them to be to wide for me.
  • Assemble tacos with all the fixins, sour cream, and hot sauce.
