Black Bean Tacos

Black bean tacos. Can you imagine a taco with meat? If you’ve never tried a vegetarian taco, it’s time to give it a try! Why make black bean tacos? You can keep a can of black beans and a can of diced tomatoes on hand, and whip this up in minutes! No need to wait for anything to thaw. Beans are also a great source of fiber and plant based protein, which can be great for heart health, gut health, and blood sugar stabilization. Buy the low sodium black beans, and give them a good rinse to reduce the sodium in this meal. You can get creative with the flavors. I find that smoked paprika is a must have in my spice pantry. I also keep a jar of chipotles in adobo on hand if you’re into a smokey and spicy flavor profile!

For the tortillas, that’s up to you! Corn, wheat flour, whole wheat, low carb, almond flour, cassava flour, chickpea flour…seriously, so many choices! Hey, you could even make taco lettuce wraps! Never heard of almond flour, cassava flour, or chickpea flour tortillas? We are loving Siete Foods tortillas because they have so many options! Find them in the gluten free frozen section of your specialty grocery store (like Wegmans or Whole Foods). #notsponsored

Top your black bean tacos with whatever you have on hand: salsa, cheese, lettuce or cabbage slaw, jalapeno slices, cilantro, a squeeze of lime, etc. Dinner in a jiff that’s still packed with flavor!
