Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 5 slices bacon
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
• 5 flour tortillas
• 1 (14 ounce) can black beans
• 2 teaspoons taco seasoning mix, divided
• 0.5 cup white rice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

Step 2

Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 3

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels, retaining the drippings in the skillet. Crumble bacon.

Step 4

Combine beans and 1 teaspoon taco seasoning mix in a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir until warmed, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Cook and stir the cooked rice and 1 teaspoon taco seasoning mix in the reserved bacon drippings until evenly coated, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 6

Brush vegetable oil over each tortilla and arrange tortillas on a baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake tortillas in the preheated oven until warmed, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Place black bean mixture, rice mixture, bacon, tomatoes, green bell peppers, and Cheddar cheese each in separate bowls; serve with tortillas.
