Tacos are one of my favorite weeknight meals, especially on Taco Tuesday! With a quick homemade taco seasoning, these Easy Tacos will be your next go-to for taco night, whatever night of the week!  

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound ground protein of choice (93% beef, chicken, turkey, plant alternative)
  • 115.5 ounce can no-added salt pinto beans
  • 115.5 ounce can no-added salt fire roasted tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, *optional
  • 8 tortillas, corn or flour
  • Toppings: Shredded 2% cheese, Easy Homemade Salsa, Chunky Guacamole, shredded lettuce

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground protein (beef, chicken, turkey, plant protein) and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any fat. You could also add in a red pepper and onion here for more veggies if you like. This version I added the fire roasted tomatoes instead of a red pepper.
  2. Add the taco seasoning (chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, & salt if using) and 1/2 cup water. Stir to combine and continue cooking over medium-low heat until the sauce has thickened, about 3-5 minutes. You can always add up to a 1/2 cup more water if needed. Add the can of pinto beans and fire-roasted tomatoes at this time as well.
  3. Serve warm over tortillas with lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, guacamole, Greek yogurt (in place of sour cream) and your other desired toppings.
