Black Bean Taco Filling (Vegan)- It's REALLY Good

Don't let the Vegan part turn you a way from this recipe, its really good.  It is very flavorful and you used it just like taco meat.  Our 4year old little boy first tried this and he ate 4 full tacos, he loved it.  He probably could have eaten more but his hollow leg couldn't hold any more. You could always go 50/50 with pinto beans.

 

1    Tbls Olive Oil

1    Medium Onion diced

2    Clove Garlic Minced

1    Bell Pepper Chopped

2    (15oz) cans black beans, rinsed, drained and mashed (or about 4 cups of cookedbeans)

2    Tbls cornmeal

1 ½ Tbls Cumin

1    tsp Paprika

1    tsp Cayenne Pepper

1    tsp Chili Powder

1    Cup Salsa

In a skillet heat oil over medium heat, add and sauté the onions, garlic and bell pepper until tender.  Add the mashed beans, cornmeal, the spices and salsa.  Cover and cook about 5 minutes.

Use just like taco meat.  It really tastes good and is worth a try.  It is now in our permanent recipe book.
