- Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except for cheese and tortillas in a bowl. Coarsely mash mixture until everything is combined.
- Heat a skillet with about 1/4 cup to medium high heat.
- Place tortilla in the oil and lightly fry. Remove and place on a tortilla to get rid of excess oil.
- Place tortilla on a baking sheet and spread about 2 tablespoons of the black bean mixture on half of the corn tortilla.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of the red pepper and onion.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
- Fold the other half of the tortilla over the mixture. Flip over if you need the beans to weight down the tortilla to keep it closed.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees.
- Serve with extra salsa and romaine lettuce.

What happened to the original recipe? I remember a version of the black bean tacos that was not baked in the oven, and I’d like to make it again.
Katie says
I changed it awhile ago after I made them the original way and felt they were too difficult to fry without everything falling out of the tortilla shell. However, you can definitely still try them that way! You just assemble them as I describe, and then just fry them in oil on the stove top 🙂
Kim says
I just came across this and I am interested in the crispy black bean tacos but the recipe is not listed. Or am I missing something? Thanks.
Katie says
I apologize, the name was incorrect on the recipe, but I ust changed it It should be the first recipe in this post now!
shar says
Why is their two taco recipes? What is the 1/4 oil for, do I pour it into the mashed beans?
Katie says
Sorry, I updated the original recipe and for some reason the old one didn’t get deleted. The oil is just to fry the tortilla in. The new recipe should have all the information you need. Thanks!!
Shannon says
Did your salsa have big red onion chucks in it? I see purple pieces in the pic-I was just curious..
I used hard shell tacos I had and tomatillo salsa-these web fab!
Katie says
That’s a great idea to use the hard shell tacos — it makes this meal even easier. I love tomatillo salsa! I’m not seeing the same purple pieces though you are haha. Our screens must have a different color setting 🙂 I just used Pace Picante Salsa (not my favorite, but it worked!)
Christina says
Would it be possible to bake the tacos and still get the crispy results? I would prefer that to frying. Thank You!
Katie says
I believe so! I did a similar recipe (mini chicken tacos), and we did them in the oven. They still turned out crispy. Sorry I’m just now responding!
Jon says
Heat the oil to what? Low, medium, high?
Katie says
medium, sorry!
Michelle Williams says
I’ve made these tacos several times. My kids really love them.
Katie says
I’m glad to hear that! I think that black bean tacos are such a yummy alternative to regular tacos.
Yini says
Hello! I stumbled upon this website through Pinterest. These cookies look amazing! But where is the peanut butter in the recipe? I see butter, but neither peanuts nor peanut butter. Help! I have all the ingredients EXCEPT for butter and was hoping to make cookies tonight with almond butter instead…? I’m a cookie monster with a wicked cookie craving right about now….
Katie says
So sorry! I’ll get that corrected right away. 1/3 cup. And almond butter would be perfect! Yum!
Karin says
I see their recipes on Pinterest all the time and they all sound and look delicious! I bet their cookbook is amazing!
