- 1 1/2 cups kidney beans, cooked (if you use canned, make sure and rinse them)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 12 corn tortillas (I prefer these sprouted corn tortillas)
Toppings:
- 20 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (omit for dairy free)
- 1/4 cup sour cream (omit for dairy free)
- 1/4 cup cilantro, minced

Instructions
- Heat coconut oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add onion and saute until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add ground beef to softened onion and cook, stirring frequently and breaking up meat with the back of a spoon, until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Stir in kidney beans. Make a well in the center of the pan and add the garlic, cumin and salt. Stir spices in the center of the pan until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Stir spices into meat mixture. Taste meat and add more salt if necessary. Remove skillet from heat.
- Serve meat in a tortilla and topped with tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
