    These healthy Black Bean Tacos with Jalapeño Ranch are easy to make in 10 minutes, and only 300 calories each! You will love them!

    These black bean tacos are a quick, healthy and easy dinner!

    When I am in need of a reset and trying to eat healthy, these tacos honestly taste so good. They are my secret weapon! I feel full and happy after having just two of them. They're super healthy, vegetarian and only 300 calories each! The secret to making them taste so good? The dressing. The spicy Jalapeño Ranch gives them tons of flavor. 

    If you love tacos, you should also try our Cafe Rio Chicken or our yummy Salsa Chicken for your next taco night! Browse all of our Mexican inspired recipes.

    Black Bean Tacos

    One of the best things about these tacos is that they come together in just about 10 minutes. You can prep the ingredients ahead of time too! They are the perfect healthy lunch or dinner! 

    Black beans, lettuce, jalapeño ranch, corn tortillas and mozzarella cheeseHow to make Black Bean Tacos

    • Prepare Jalapeño Ranch at least 30 minutes ahead of time and store it in the fridge. 
    • Wrap corn tortillas in a damp paper towel. Put the wrapped tortillas in the microwave for one minute to steam them.
    • Rinse and drain black beans, wash and chop lettuce and grate the string cheese.

    Black beans washed and rinsed, and lettuce chopped and rinsed.

    • Assemble tacos by topping one tortilla with half cup lettuce, ¼ cup beans, half the string cheese and 1 tablespoon dressing. 

    Recipe Notes:

    • You do not have to use string cheese for this - any mozzarella cheese will work. I like using string cheese because it's easier than measuring the cheese and I'm not tempted to add more!
    • I don't heat the black beans for these tacos - but you can if you prefer them warm. 
    • Change it up and add any toppings you want to. Pico de Gallo, avocado, salsa, hot sauce, and corn are all great additions to these Black Bean tacos!

    Now eat them. So good, right?!

    It is worth mentioning that my husband usually dislikes anything meatless, but when we had these the first night he loved them. The next day I was going to make him a burger and just make these for myself again, but he wanted to have these too. He wanted vegetarian low-cal tacos more than a burger, you guys.

      Corn tortillas are not easy to find where I live (I've tried!). Would it severely mess up the calories if I substituted whole wheat tortillas?
