Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 1/2 cups salsa
1 tbsp taco seasoning (adjust to halal/non-alcoholic)
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
8 large flour tortillas
2 tbsp melted butter
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
1/2 cup sour cream (for serving)
1 lime, cut into wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a skillet, cook ground beef, onion, and bell pepper until browned. Add black beans, salsa, and taco seasoning; simmer 5 minutes.
Spread a layer of the beef mixture on each tortilla, top with 1/4 cup cheese.
Brush edges of 4 tortillas with melted butter, overlay with remaining 4 tortillas (cheese-side down). Transfer to the sheet pan.
Bake 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cool slightly, slice into squares, and serve with sour cream, cilantro, and lime.
Notes
Use halal-certified ground beef if required.
Swap butter with olive oil if needed to avoid animal products.
Tortillas can be substituted with corn for a whole-grain option.
Freeze unbaked assemblies for up to 2 months (add 5 minutes to bake time).
