Preparation
Mise en place
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Halve, core and small-dice the sweet peppers.
- Halve, peel and small-dice the onion.
- Drain and rinse the black beans.
- Juice the lime.

Start the filling
- In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the onion and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant.
- Add the sweet peppers and sauté, 3 to 4 min., until softened.
Finish the filling
- To the pan, add the black beans, spices and ½ cup water.
- Cook, stirring often, 3 to 4 min., until the beans are warmed through.

Prepare & bake the tacos
- Arrange the tortillas on a lightly oiled foil-lined sheet pan.

- Bake, 5 to 7 min., until golden brown and crisp.
- Switch the oven to broil, 2 to 3 min., if extra colour is desired.
