We enjoyed this recipe. It's easy to make and flavorful. I used a 15 oz. can of black beans. We served it with sour cream and fresh salsa. My son liked the filling without tortillas. Will make again.

I found this in Parade several years ago and it is my go to taco recipe. We add guacamole and sour cream but it still seems good for you and filling! It makes enough for 2 of us to eat for at least 2 days. Oh and try it on low carb tortillas.

I'm made this recipe several times. My family and I love it! It's pretty rare when I make something this healthy and my son loves it but this is one of his favorites. So flavorful it doesn't seem healthy and sooo easy to prepare!
