A great vegetarian (or even vegan) dinner option that combines sweet smoky black beans with a crisp and refreshing pineapple salsa. A perfect light meal to transition from summer to autumn.


My love for tacos is never ending. If you ask me what I want to eat, 9 times out of 10, I’m going to tell you that I want tacos.


You just have so many options when it comes to tacos. You can do hard or soft shell. Corn or flour. Beef or chicken. Fish, veggie, vegan, the list goes on and on.


They also tend to be quick to make, which is right in my wheelhouse, and the leftovers are always just as good as the original meal.


These black bean tacos are a great weeknight meal. They take about 10 minutes to make and they’re super filling. They’re also really versatile. As they stand, they’re vegetarian, but you can easily switch out the cheese or leave it out entirely and make it vegan. You could also add meat to it and make it carnivore friendly as well. These are a great option for when you have only a few minutes for dinner, but don’t want to dine out.
