Quinoa-Black Bean Tacos are so easy and quick that you can make them on the busiest of weeknights. In fact, sometimes you can even find frozen quinoa these days and make this even quicker.
I try to do 1-2 meatless meals per week, not because it’s healthy (there’s nothing unhealthy about lean meats), but because it’s easy, tasty, and cost effective. Veggie Tacos are one of my favorite meatless meals. So quick, so easy, so tasty. You’ll never even miss the meat!
