Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp ghee or olive oil
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (100% grass-fed, if possible)
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can of black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 12 hard taco shells (preferably organic or non-gmo, such as Trader Joe's)
  • shredded lettuce
  • shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
  • pico de gallo or diced tomatoes

Instructions

  • Begin pre-heating the oven according to your taco shell box directions.
  • Heat the oil in a 10.5-inch skillet, add the ground beef and let cook, breaking it up with the back of spoon as it browns. Once the beef has cooked through, stir in the drained black beans and seasonings, and let cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile place taco shells onto un-greased baking sheet and place into oven to warm according to package instructions.
  • Start building your tacos with the meat mixture and choice of toppings, then serve.

Notes

If not using lean ground beef, you will need to drain the beef after cooking, before adding the beans and seasonings.
