I’ll be upfront – I’m not a vegetarian. But once spring and summer come around, I am craving fresh fruits and veggies, and frankly, meat can take a back seat then sometimes! Not to mention the fact that meat is more expensive and often more time consuming to cook. So sometimes I feel like making a meatless meal, and I wanted to share an easy vegetarian recipe I came up with recently: cilantro and lime black bean tacos. Nothing ground breaking, but it is easy, healthy and delicious!

Vegetarian Tacos:

For the filling (instead of meat):
– About 3 cups of black beans, cooked and mostky drained
– 1-2 teaspoons of cumin (to taste)
– 3-4 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
– Dash of lime juice
– Salt to taste

Toppings:
– Diced red pepper
– Fresh salsa (diced tomatoes, diced onions, diced fresh pineapple, cilantro, lime juice, diced hot chilies if desired)
– Cheese of your choice
– Cilantro
– Sliced jalapenos
– Sliced avocados, or whatever else you feel like!

It’s delicious served with fresh pineapple.
Enjoy!

Is anyone else like me and crave fresh veggies this time of year?
