Black Bean Soft Tacos
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 15 min.
YIELD: 8 servings.
Spiced just right, these bean-based tacos have plenty of south-of-the-border appeal. I liven up the black bean filling with diced tomatoes, green chiles and a variety of seasonings, then I garnish each taco with a slice of avocado. —Lynn Hamilton, Naperville, Illinois
