Taco night just got a meatless upgrade, and no one’s going to miss the beef. These Crispy Black Bean Tacos are everything you love about tacos—savory, crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor—without any meat in sight. They’re easy to throw together on a weeknight, cost-effective, and surprisingly filling thanks to the protein-packed black beans.

The secret? A creamy, spiced black bean filling blitzed in the food processor with lime juice and salsa. Tucked into small tortillas with a generous handful of Monterey Jack cheese, then pan-fried or oven-baked until golden and melty, they’re a crave-worthy twist on the classic taco.

Perfect for a family dinner, lunch prep, or game-day snack spread, these tacos check all the boxes: quick, affordable, delicious, and comforting.
