It’s no secret that tacos are simple to make and you can customize them to your liking. To me, tacos are like pizza: You can toss a bunch of veggies into a taco shell, but it’s still a taco. Lately, I have been working on eating a lot healthier, so I have been eating loads more veggies and adding veggies to the occasional smoothie. The beauty of it is that it’s been cheap, and the recipe that I have for you all this week is very cheap to make, too! Let’s get started with these Black Bean Tacos so you don’t have to read any more of my babbling!

Black Bean Tacos
1/2 can black beans
2–4 leaves kale (or lettuce), chopped
Guacamole
Salsa
4 taco shells

  • Warm up the beans by tossing them into a pan and heating them on low for about 5 to 10 minutes, or follow the instructions on the can.
  • Wash the kale (or lettuce) and chop so that you have thin slices that will fit nicely inside a taco shell.
  • Put about 3 tablespoonfuls of black beans in each taco shell.  
  • Add some kale.
  • Add some guacamole.
  • Add some salsa.
  • Chow down!

Makes 4 tacos

This is a super-simple, no-frills recipe that can be customized to your liking. If you want to add some vegan sour cream or vegan cheese to change things up, go for it! Prep your taco, and get to munchin’ already!

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
