A great meatless variation for taco night. The leftover black bean filling also doubles for a nacho topping or burrito filling. The original Vegan Bean Taco Filling can be found at Allrecipes.com - this is my adaptation for ALDI shoppers.
Serves 4 with 3 tacos each, Cost per serving approx. $1.61

Directions
1. In a large skillet, saute onion, garlic, and bell pepper over medium low heat until onions are translucent.
2. Add the black beans, spices, and salsa and cook until heated through mashing a little as you go. I like to still have some whole beans left at the end. If it is too runny, cook a little longer or add 1 T. of Benita Masa.
3. Heat taco shells according to package direction.
4. Spoon approximately 1/4 c. of filling into each shell. Top with 2 avocado slices and any toppings you like.
