Spicy Black Bean Tacos (Healthy!!!)

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp. grapeseed oil
• 1/2 sweet yellow onion, diced
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1 14 oz. can stewed tomatoes, chop the tomatoes
• 2 15 oz. cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 1/4 tsp. red chili flakes
• 4 adobe peppers in chipotle sauce, chopped
• salt and pepper, to taste
• Taco toppings – lettuce, cheese, salsa, avocado (desired amount)
• Whole grain tortillas
• MEAT OPTION: 1 lb. ground buffalo, additional tsp. cumin, and chili powder, and 2 adobe peppers.

Directions:

• Heat Grapeseed oil in a non-stick pan.  Add onion and adobe peppers and saute about 5 minutes.  (Option here to add other vegetables like bell pepper, carrot, etc.)
• Add in black beans and seasonings and saute about 5 minutes.  At this point the beans become a bit dry, add in the can of stewed tomatoes.  Stir occasionally, and cook this down for about another 5-7 minutes.
• MEAT OPTION: If you want to try the option that includes the meat, follow the instructions above with another step.  While the black beans are cooking, heat up in another pan 1 tsp. grapeseed oil.   Saute the buffalo and 2 chopped adobe peppers, until the meat begins to brown.  Add in the additional 1 tsp. of cumin and 1 tsp. of chili powder.  Once the buffalo is cooked, you can combine the meat and bean mixture, and you have your filling!
• Serve taco fillings in wheat tortillas with desired amount of toppings and enjoy!!!!
