Naked Black Bean Tacos
Otherwise known as tacos in a bowl. Don’t let the lack of a taco shell keep you from having a taco, just put it in a bowl, plus it’s faster. This recipe calls for black beans, but you could also use your favorite fish. We’ve even done them with salmon fish burgers! (If you really want shells, check the video at the bottom of the page.)
