2 fresh jalapeño peppers, divided
1 white onion, finely chopped
1 orange pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 can (15.5 oz.) black beans, drained
1 can (14.5 oz.) fire-roasted diced tomatoes with green chilies

  • Thinly slice remaining jalapeño. Remove taco bake from oven and top with jalapeño, cilantro, avocados, and sour cream. Serve with lime wedges.
