These Baked Black Bean & Rice Tacos are the perfect option for a weeknight dinner!

Are you looking for some easy weeknight dinner options?  If so, these Baked Black Bean & Rice Tacos are the perfect option.  This is one of my many go-to items for a quick weeknight meal.

If there is one thing EVERYONE in our family loves it’s tacos!  I can easily make tacos and the whole family enjoys them.  Recently, we’ve enjoyed these Air Fryer Tacos the best; however, I make them just as I would these Baked Black Bean & Rice Tacos, only I toast them up in the air fryer instead.

Tuesday nights tend to be taco night at our house, not just because it’s Taco Tuesday, but also because we just don’t have time to make a big meal.  Tuesdays are a busy day for us and usually getting dinner on the table is quite a chore.  That’s what I love about these tacos.  They are super simple to put together within just about 10 minutes.  That means even if you are just getting off work, you can still get dinner done in minutes.

I’m sure it also saves time avoiding the drive thru too, right?

The best part for me is that no one complains about tacos, they all enjoy them.  That’s quite a feat too with a house full of picky eaters.

We like to serve this with bean dip or guacamole for dipping, which are a few of our favorites.  This meal is perfect for back to school week too because it’s easy to do!  Are you ready for back to school?
