Black Bean Tacos

Yesterday when James and I were talking about what to have for dinner, I decided I really wanted tacos. I started creating a taco in my head so I would know what to get at the store. I thought black beans would make a great "meat" and that I could just pick up a taco spice flavor packet for the seasoning. Put it in a shell with some onions, lettuce and tomato and that would be it.

Every time I have made tacos in the past, I have used a flavor packet.



However this time I checked the ingredients list (as I always do now) and found out that it has milk in it.

Ok, new plan. I make my own.

This is what I came up with. It was awesome! I will defiantly be making it again.


Black Bean Tacos

2 cans Black Beans (rinsed and drained)
1 1/2 cups Veggie Broth
1 small can Diced Green Chillies
6 Garlic Cloves diced
1/4 large Onion diced
2 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Cumin
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Add everything to a pan bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the liquid is gone. Stirring occasionally. (I forgot to time it but it was about 30 mins.)

Add to taco shells and top with your favorites. I had mine with lettuce, onion and tomato. James had his with onion, tomato, and sour cream. I had also bought taco sauce but I forgot to use it. I didn't notice until I was cleaning up after dinner. Oh well, it was probably better with out it :)

Happy Eating!
