  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground beef and break the meat into crumbles. Add the onion as well as all of the seasonings then cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the drained and rinsed can of black beans to the beef mixture as well as the green chiles then stir until well combined. Set aside.
  4. Make the crispy baked taco shells by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
  5. Wrap the tortillas in a paper towel then microwave for 30 seconds to soften the tortillas.
  6. Place the corn tortillas over the baking rack then spray each tortilla with cooking spray; bake for 7-10 minutes or until golden brown. Side Note: If you don't have a baking rack, fry the tortillas in oil and form them into tacos.
  7. Fill each crispy taco shell with beef and bean mixture, lettuce, pico de gallo, cheddar cheese, olives, cilantro, and green onions.
  8. Serve with guacamole, salsa, and sour cream. Enjoy
