Cilantro and Black Bean Tacos
These tacos are a quick and easy way to get your Mexican fix. The black beans provide a hearty and filling base, while the cilantro, onion, and bell pepper add freshness and flavor. The cumin and chili powder give the tacos a warm and smoky flavor, and the salt and pepper help to balance out the flavors.
I first had these tacos at a friend's house. She had made them for a party, and they were such a hit that I asked her for the recipe. She told me that she had found the recipe online, but she had made a few changes to it. She had added more cilantro and onion, and she had also used a different type of chili powder. I'm not sure what type of chili powder she used, but it gave the tacos a really unique flavor. I've been making these tacos ever since, and they've become a favorite of mine.
