Taco Week, Part Three: Vegetarian "Meat" and Bean Taco

The third and final taco is a play on the typical ground meat taco minus gross taco seasoning.

Last week, I had made Vegetable Lasagna with "Gardein Beefless Ground" and had extra "meat" to use. This worked out perfectly to mix with black beans and add to our vegetarian taco. While the other two tacos provided a nice variety to the "taco" label, this taco was satisfying if you are looking for that more traditional taco.


Ingredients
Filling
-1 Tbsp minced garlic
-1 Tbsp olive oil
-1 small onion, chopped
-1 cup Gardein beefless ground (or regular ground beef)
-1 can of black beans
-1 tsp cumin
-1 tsp paprika
-1/2 tsp chili powder
-1/2 tsp cayenne
-1 tsp salt
-1/2 cup broth
-1Tbsp tomato paste

Taco Filling
-soft tortillas
-iceberg or romaine lettuce, chopped
-red onion, finely diced
-grape tomatoes, chopped (optional)
-shredded cheese (preferably "Mexican" style)
-sour cream
-salsa

Instructions
In a saucepan, cook the chopped onion and garlic in olive oil. Once onions are cooked, add the "beef", beans, spices, broth, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Serve on a tortilla with lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and salsa.
