Skirt Steak Tacos are a huge family favorite around here. So when I was invited to participate in the November side car series at Kitchen PLAY featuring Bush’s Beans, I knew exactly what to make. A delicious and simple dinner time favorite.
Grilled skirt steak doesn’t last long when it comes off the bbq and gets sliced up. Everyone seems to walk by and snag a few pieces. I’m lucky if the meat isn’t half eaten by the time we’re ready to stuff the taco shells. To stretch the budget, but still keep my family happy, I used Bush’s Beans to make a black bean salsa. Black beans are one of my favorite beans and when made into a salsa, it’s all I need to make my taco complete. Onions, garlic, charred corn, cilantro, and a little lime juice jazz up the black beans and put a kick in your bite. My husband likes a little jalapeno, but I didn’t put it in because the kid can’t take the heat. But if it’s your thing, be sure to add some. I also used a little red bell pepper, because I had a wee bit left in the fridge and it added a little color.
I hope you enjoy these tacos as much as my family does. I’ll bet it will become your family’s favorite too.

Megan these look great we just love Mexican food, the flavors here are just perfect.. your comments are very sweet thanks so much for your visit. Have a great week~
Do you buy the corn already charred? Or are you charring frozen corn? I wasn’t sure. Must try.
tacos is one food that I love to eat I love the spice they use and the aroma of the beef, it is the first time I have seen tacos with Bush’s Black Beans usually green vegetable. and this looks great.
Looks a winner all the way Megan. Tacos are something that my kids love, and the terrible teen would love some jalapeños on hers! Mmmmm!
These look great! I love black bean and corn salsa and could just eat that and be happy.
These look perfect! We love making our own Mexican at home – my husband would flip for these.
