Ingredients

1 tbsp Dan-O’s Dips Mexi-Ranch
2 tbsp Dan-O’s Adob-O Seasoning
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 reb bell pepper, chopped
4 tsp minced garlic
2 tbsp tomato paste
two 14-ounce cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
3/4 cup vegetable broth or stock
1 lime, juiced
8–10 corn tortillas
6 ounces Pepper Jack or melty cheese of choice, freshly shredded
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup milk

Preparation Instructions

First mix up that sauce! Grab your sour cream, splash in some milk, and hit it with 1 tablespoon of Dan-O’s Dips Mexi-Ranch. Stir it up and toss it in the fridge. Let those flavors get friendly while we cook.
Now preheat that oven to 450°F—center rack.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once it’s hot and shimmering, throw in your onions and season ‘em up with Dan-O’s Adob-O. Cook ‘em down for about 3–4 minutes until they’re soft and smelling amazing.
Then in goes the red pepper—give it a few minutes to soften up too.
Next, add your garlic. Just about 30 seconds here—you don’t wanna burn it.
Stir in the tomato paste and vegetable stock, mixing it all together into that flavor base. Now bring in the black beans and hit ‘em again with some Dan-O’s Adob-O. Stir it up and let it warm through.
Turn up the heat just a bit to get a simmer going, then grab a spatula or potato masher and mash those beans slightly. You’re not making soup—you just want everything to come together nice and thick. Let it cook another minute or two if needed.
Squeeze in some fresh lime juice, give it a taste, and add more Dan-O’s if you’re feelin’ it. Take it off the heat and set it aside.
Now let’s handle those tortillas. Wrap ‘em in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds to get ‘em soft and ready to roll.
Brush 2 tablespoons of olive oil on a baking sheet, then lay out your tortillas. Flip ‘em around so they get a light coat on both sides. Spoon that black bean mixture onto half of each tortilla, sprinkle on your cheese, and fold ‘em over into tacos. Pro tip: flip ‘em so the cheese side is down—that’s how you get that crispy magic.
Into the oven they go—8 to 10 minutes. Then carefully flip ‘em and bake another 8 to 10 minutes until they’re golden, crispy, and straight-up irresistible. Let ‘em cool for a couple of minutes—they’ll crisp up even more.
Now serve ‘em up warm, drizzle that Mexi-Ranch sauce on top, and load ‘em with whatever you like—guac, cilantro, salsa, lime juice….Yum Yum Get Ya Sum!®
