You won't miss the meat in this recipe, trust me. It's filling on its own. I make my own chips by slicing corn tortillas into wedges and frying them until crispy, which is much cheaper and tastier than buying chips at the store. You can stir a can of Campbell's fiesta nacho cheese soup into the taco filling for added flavor.

How To Make spicy bean taco filling

  • 1
    Empty beans into mixing bowl and mash according to taste. I personally like my filling chunkier rather than smooth, so I don't mash too vigorously.
  • 2
    Saute onions, garlic, and peppers in olive oil in saucepan until onions are slightly browned.
  • 3
    Mix in beans, salsa, and spices. Salt may be added to taste. Cook for approximately 5 minutes.

    Fill taco shells or serve filling in a serving bowl with shredded cheese on top and chips on the side.
