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.
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?

Yum!! Perfect busy school night recipe! Its simple yet looks delicious enough for everyone to enjoy. I bet its really easy to make too which make sit even better! I know what Im making next Taco Tuesday 🙂
This recipe is so up my alley! Firstly, because I am a vegetarian, and secondly, because I just happen to love rice, beans, AND tacos! This is a perfect ‘clean-eating’ recipe for the family!
That recipe looks great! Perfect for taco night which my family loves. I love the bonus box tops. We collect box tops for my sister’s classrooms and they are so helpful! I’ll have to pass these along to them.
Yum and Cool. We LOVE Mexican night in our house. And with a son who has egg and milk allergies all the fillings that are safe for him the better–and oddly for a six year old he LOVES beans! And extra box tops? I will be on the hunt for this package! Our school sends home a little picture to fill in with box tops each month and I try to fill it every time!
