Submitted by Annacia

"I sometimes get a craving for good old tacos but I don't trust commercial ground beef to be safe and healthy. This is a much healthier option that still tastes great. Add some refried beans to the plate if you like."

This is right up my alley, and what an alley it is. Who could not love tacos, especially ones that are healthy and made without meat? I did use your recommendation of refried beans (black) and this tasted like we had just served a dish from the local "nacho" joint! Used a vegan sour-cream topping, and some sliced (thinly) green onion. Terrific, easy, recipe - that helped us get through a difficult week. Thanks for posting!
