Load the instant pot. Season the chicken thighs with salt, cumin, and paprika, and transfer it to the instant pot. Add the garlic, onion, water, and olive oil. Give everything a stir.

Cook. Close the lid of the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 12 minutes. Allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes before releasing manually.

Shred. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Shred the chicken and set aside. Discard the remaining contents of the instant pot.

For the chicken

Prep. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400˚F and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Pre-bake the shells. While the chicken is cooking, arrange the taco shells open side up in a single layer in the baking dish and bake for 4 minutes. Remove them from the oven and set aside, leaving the taco shells in the baking pan.

Sauté the veggies. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. Add the onions, season with salt, and sauté for 3 minutes or until translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for 15 seconds.

Make the filling. Add the chopped green chilis, tomatoes, salsa, and taco seasoning to the pan. Stir the sauce and bring it to a light boil. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the black beans and the chicken and remove from the heat.

Fill the taco shells. Divide the filling evenly between the taco shells. They will be full to the brim. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the tacos.

Bake. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Serve. Remove from oven, garnish with your favorite taco toppings, and serve.

Crispy Black Bean Tacos

black beans, rinsed and drained

taco seasoning

salsa

lime

Monterey Jack cheese, grated

flour tortillas

Olive oil,

salt and black pepper,

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

Add a tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat and cook black bean mixture for 5 minutes, just long enough to cook out some liquid and deepen flavors. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Spread a few tablespoons of black bean mixture in each tortilla and top with Monterey Jack cheese. Fold tortilla in half.

To cook on stovetop: Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook tacos on both sides until crispy and golden brown, 3-4 minutes per side.

To bake: Brush each side of taco with olive oil and arrange on a sheet pan. Bake in a pre-heated 450°F oven for 8-10 minutes. Flip tacos, return to oven and bake 8-10 minutes more. Let stand 3 minutes before serving.

Tablespoon oil ((olive oil, avocado oil, vegetable oil))

water ((see notes below))

shredded Mexican blend cheese

corn tortillas

sour cream

mayonnaise

Tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice

garlic,

cilantro ((see notes below))

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add in ½ white onion, finely diced and cook for about 2-3 minutes.

Add 1 pound ground beef to the skillet and cook and crumble the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess grease and put back into the skillet.

Then add in 1 packet taco seasoning and 1 Tablespoon water with the ground beef mixture and stir. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

Sprinkle in ½ cup shredded Mexican blend cheese and stir until melted. Then take off the heat.

Warm up 10 corn tortillas to prevent them from tearing while assembling the tacos. This can be done by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds.

Arrange the warmed tortillas on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Assemble the tacos by spooning some of the taco beef mixture onto half of each tortilla and then fold them in half

Bake on the middle oven rack for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

While the tacos are baking, make the cilantro lime crema sauce by combining 1 cup sour cream, 1 Tablespoon mayonnaise, 2 Tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice, zest of ½ lime, 1 clove garlic, minced, 1 bunch of cilantro and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender and blend until fully combined and smooth.

Drizzle the cilantro lime crema over the top of the tacos once done baking, and enjoy! Top with your favorite taco toppings!

These were really good! Huge hit with my family. We dipped them in some warmed up queso - incredible! Thanks so much for the recipe!
