The Best Crispy Black Bean Tacos with perfectly seasoned black beans, melted cheese, and crispy golden tortillas. A delicious vegetarian taco recipe that is simple, satisfying, and full of bold flavor.

Ingredients

2 cans (14 oz each) black beans, rinsed and drained

2 tablespoons taco seasoning

1/3 cup salsa

Juice of 1 lime

1½ cups Monterey Jack cheese, grated

Small flour tortillas

Olive oil, as needed

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional toppings

Sour cream

Guacamole

Fresh cilantro

Extra salsa

Instructions

Prepare the Black Bean Filling
In a food processor, pulse the black beans, taco seasoning, salsa, and lime juice until finely chopped and well combined.

Cook the Filling
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the black bean mixture and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until some of the liquid cooks off and the flavors deepen. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Tacos
Spread a few tablespoons of the black bean mixture onto one half of each tortilla. Sprinkle with grated Monterey Jack cheese and fold the tortilla in half.

Cook on the Stovetop
Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the tacos for 3–4 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown.

OR

Bake in the Oven
Brush each taco lightly with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Bake in a 450°F (230°C) oven for 8–10 minutes, flip, then bake another 8–10 minutes until crispy.

Serve
Let tacos rest for about 3 minutes, then serve with sour cream, guacamole, cilantro, or extra salsa.

Notes

Corn tortillas can be used instead of flour tortillas for a gluten-free option.

Add diced jalapeños or chili flakes for extra heat.

These tacos are great for meal prep and can be reheated in the oven or air fryer.
