If you like mexican food, one of my family's favorites is black bean tacos. I came up with this when I was thinking about going vegetarian. You'll need:

2 cans of black beans (drained & rinsed)
1 can of diced tomatoes w/green peppers & onions (Hunts or Del Monte)
2 ears of fresh corn kernels (best) or 1 cup frozen corn

Add these in a pot and heat. It's that easy! This is good even without seasonings as the canned tomatoes add flavor or you can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, & Adobo.

For the taco shells, I like to fry (in Smart Balance oil) corn tortillas. The best brand is El Popocatepetl. They're sold in the mexican stores.

For the toppings, I use colby jack cheese, shredded lettuce, & my family likes avocado.

I always serve this with mexican rice or fideo.
