Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
  • 0.5 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 2 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 0.5 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 0.75 cup frozen corn (no need to thaw)
  • 10 piece flour tortillas (6-inch)
  • 2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil for brushing
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 cup sour cream for serving, optional
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped for serving, optional
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes for serving, optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
  • Cook the beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up meat, until browned and onions are soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  • Stir in garlic, taco seasoning, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook 2 minutes, then fold in black beans and corn. Remove from heat.
  • Warm tortillas in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds or in a foil packet in the oven so they are pliable.
  • Assemble tacos: Spoon about 0.25 cup of the beef filling onto half of each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, then fold over to close.
  • Arrange tacos on the baking sheet. Brush tops with oil and lightly sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
  • Bake 8 to 10 minutes, flip, then bake 5 to 7 minutes more until golden and crisp at the edges. For extra color, broil 1 to 2 minutes if desired.
  • Serve hot with sour cream, cilantro, and diced tomatoes.

Notes

Make-ahead tip: The filling can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated. Reheat before assembling. Swap ground turkey or chicken for the beef if you like. For gluten-free, use 6-inch corn tortillas and warm them well before filling.
