Black Bean Tacos

So I was trying to figure out dinner on Sunday and I didn't want to brown hamburger! (I know I am lazy) So I decided to try inventing a meat free taco. It ended up being really tasty and my girls even liked it! so here goes...

2 cans Black Beans drained & rinsed well
1 can Mexican tomatoes (I also added some fresh tomatoes)
Dry Onion Flakes
Pampered Chef Southwest Seasoning (Taco spices)
Lots of Garlic Salt
& lots of cumin

Mix it all in a frying pan and simmer and cook for awhile, then drain out all the extra juices, apply to taco shells with shredded cheese and waalaa you are done!

Onion Rings

My husband called these the best onion rings he's ever had. They are really good and super easy. I will say that next time I'll half the recipe...this makes a lot of rings.

1 c. cornstarch
1 c. flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt

1 egg
1 c. cold water
Black pepper to taste

Beat together all ingredients. Dip sliced onion rings in batter. Deep fry. (I used vegetable oil.)
