    Start by finely chopping the onion and mincing the garlic clove.

    2

    In a skillet, over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it's no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the excess fat.

    3

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

    4

    Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and add the drained black beans. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors. If the mixture becomes dry, you can add a few tablespoons of water.

    5

    While the beef and beans are cooking, prepare your toppings by chopping the lettuce and tomato, and shredding the cheddar cheese.

    6

    Warm the taco shells according to the package instructions, usually about 5 minutes in the oven.

    7

    Assemble your tacos by spooning the beef and black bean mixture into the warmed taco shells. Top with lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
