Beef and Black Bean Tacos are not made with the traditional salty taco mix. These are made with picante sauce. Sometimes I add 1/4 teaspoon cumin and chili powder. Make sure you buy the picante sauce to your spice level.
The leftover Beef and Black Beans are fantastic to make burritos, nacho’s, rice bowls or a salad. I like to freeze some of the beef to have on a night when I don’t have time or ambition to cook.
