I love black beans, and I threw this together in a minute in my food chopper. It's just one can of black beans with a few spices added in, then ground up. I put it on Triscuit crackers and it's wonderful!

This can also be used to make "black bean pizza" when put on whole wheat bagels or bread or rolls, topped with cheddar cheese and baked until cheese melts.

Black beans are full of good protein and fiber, and I finally found a way to make them taste good! This recipe is great on turkey tacos or by itself as a side dish!

Please note, I'm a dump cook, so it's hard to give exact measurements, but I'll try and get you close!

This is a low sodium, low fat, high protein entree. Best served with salad greens. The directions include my own taco mix which reduces the amount of sodium in the recipe. If you are crunched for time or don't have a spice rack, just buy packaged taco mix. I don't like things hot, so IF YOU LIKE IT HOT, add your favorite reduced sodium SALSA!!

An unexpected but refreshing combination of flavors!

Quick & Easy to prepare.
