Whenever someone asks me what my favorite dish to make is I almost ALWAYS say tacos. Why? There are endless combinations of toppings, creativity is boundless, and not to mention they always taste so dang good. 

I’ve made lentil, fajita, cumin black bean, and “fish” tacos…but what about turning black beans into a type of taco “meat”? Spiced with all the right spices, pairings, and cooked to the right chewy and slightly crunch texture. I think this recipe hits the spot. …
