Black Bean Tacos- Phase 1 and Phase 3 - vegetarian, vegan

 

This is super easy to whip up. You can use canned beans but I prefer to save money and have better flavor with beans I cook myself. 

You can also add whatever veggies you like. Jicama, radish, bell pepper, onion, carrot...clean out your crisper and make some tacos!

If you don't want the heat, be sure to take out the seeds and membranes in the jalapeno. If you want it hotter, add another one. 

You can serve this on chopped lettuce for a salad, or in spelt tortillas for tacos. You could even put this over brown rice to make a taco bowl.
