Spicy Black BeanTacos with Refreshing Pineapple Salsa

These spicy black bean tacos are a quick and easy meal that are perfect for a weeknight dinner. The black beans are simmered in a flavorful sauce made with chili powder, cumin, and salt, and then topped with a refreshing pineapple salsa. The tacos are also topped with your favorite toppings, such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, or cheese.

I first developed this recipe when I was looking for a quick and easy meal to make for my family. I had some leftover black beans in the fridge, and I wanted to use them up. I also had some fresh pineapple that I needed to use, so I decided to make a salsa with it. The tacos were a hit with my family, and I've been making them ever since.
