Vegan Black Bean Tacos

IMG_6285

When I’m thinking Mexican, I resort to a black bean mixture that is spiced and warmed to serve as the basis of whatever dish I prepare – be it a dip, a filling, or a dish in it own right. Whatever I use the black bean mixture for, it’s bound to be an easy, no-fuss way to get the Mexican flavors quickly and most satisfyingly. Enjoy!

Black Beans: regulate blood sugar, are packed with soluble fiber, have anti-inflammatory properties, prevent cancer with its antioxidant potency, contribute to nervous system health, and are a rich source of molybdenum, which has detoxifying properties.
