Black Bean and Corn Tacos
We eat meatless meals a few times a week, so I replaced the beef with nutty brown rice to bulk up these tacos. Sometimes I also like to swap in quinoa for the rice. —Kristin Rimkus, Snohomish, Washington

We loved this! Very yummy and fresh-tasting. I agree with the reviewer, I was surprised at how well the cabbage went with this meal. The only tweaks I made were: lowered the amount of onion a tad, and used a medium orange bell pepper and a small green pepper. This was so good I'm looking forward to the leftovers :)

Although I modified this recipe a bit, I am still giving this version five stars. Instead of tomatoes, I used salsa and adjusted the seasoning accordingly. I was surprised that the cabbage worked so well in this dish. It assumed the flavor of the seasonings, so it wasn't overwhelming. We enjoyed this dish, and I plan to make it again.
