Ingredients

• 1 bag Nacho Cheese Doritos
• 10 pieces Corn tortillas
• 1 can Black beans
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Bell pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
• 1 cup Lettuce
• 1 medium Tomato
• 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or favorite blend)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Cilantro
• 1 medium Lime

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, garlic cloves, and bell pepper.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chopped bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the black beans, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper into the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is well blended and heated through.

Step 6

While the bean mixture is cooking, finely shred the lettuce, dice the tomato, and chop the cilantro.

Step 7

Slice the lime into wedges for serving.

Step 8

In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas by lightly toasting each side for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Step 9

To assemble the tacos, take a Doritos chip and evenly spread the cooked bean mixture on top. Add a warmed tortilla over the beans, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 10

Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Step 11

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra kick of freshness.
