Beef and Black Bean Tacos

Beef and Black Bean Tacos are full of so much flavor you will be looking forward to the leftovers in your lunch.

Beef and Black Bean Tacos are not made with the traditional salty taco mix. It is made with picante sauce. Sometimes I add 1/4 teaspoon cumin and chili powder. If you have leftovers this recipe makes really good burritos and nacho’s.
