How To Make Vegan Black Bean Sheet Pan Tacos:

Vegan Black Bean Sheet Pan Tacos are so simple to make, and does not require a lot of steps.


First things first is you will need to your sheet pan. This is the I prefer, as a raise edge helps anything from sliding off.


First you will preheat your oven and line your tray with parchment paper or lubricate it well with some oil.


Next, you will get to chopping! This is the only laborious part, I swear. Cut up your mushrooms, peppers, onions, and tomatoes then place them on tray.


Sprinkle on the seasoning, drizzle on approx 1 tsp of olive oil and give them a good mix with your hands or a spatula.


Bake the veggies for approx. 25 minutes, then pour in the black beans so they can warm up. Cook for another 5 minutes and you are done.


Place the veggie filling into your tortilla shells. I garnished mine with avocados and cilantro then squeezed lime on top!


In under 30 minutes you will have a delicious taco dinner!
