Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp Taco Seasoning Mix or 40% Less Sodium Taco Seasoning Mix
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 can black beans drained, 15 oz.
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 package fresh spinach leaves washed, 10 oz.
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 can Diced Green Chiles 4 oz
  • 8 Taco Shells or Fiesta Flats any variety
  • crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 bottle Taco Sauce 8 oz., any variety

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat half (1½ tbsp) of the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes, until the onions are a rich brown. While the onions cook, heat the beans in a small saucepan.
  • Stir the taco seasoning mix and water into the onions, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more to thicken. Spoon the onions into a serving bowl and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining oil. Cook the garlic in the hot oil for 10 seconds, just until it's fragrant, then add the spinach leaves, a handful at a time, stirring and adding more as they wilt. Sprinkle with salt and diced green chiles and continue to cook until the spinach is tender, 3 to 4 more minutes.
  • To serve, mound beans, spinach and onion in taco shells or Fiesta Flats(tm) and top with crumbled feta and taco sauce.
