- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 red bell pepper (chopped)
- ½ medium onion (finely chopped)
- 3 teaspoons taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ teaspoon salt (omit if using salted taco seasoning)
- 2 cups jarred tomato salsa (mild or spicy, depending on your tastes)
- 1 can black beans (590 ml or 19 oz, rinsed well)
- 6 large tortillas
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- *This recipe has been updated to include a few more ingredients for more flavor! It is essentially the same, just in a different shape (a rectangular baking dish instead of a pie plate).
- Ingredients and Substitutions:
- Ground beef: feel free to swap the beef for any ground meat or add additional veggies and make it a meatless meal.
- Vegetables: I use bell peppers and onions, but you can use whatever vegetables you have on hand including carrots, zucchini, spinach, kale, mushrooms, or frozen veggies.
- Salsa: Use jarred or cooked tomato salsa to avoid soggy tortillas. Smooth tomato sauce with spices can be substituted.
- Tortillas: Choose flour, whole wheat, or corn tortillas based on preference.
- Cheese: Cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack are all great options!
