Vegetarian Taco Salad or Taco Filling

In our home we don't eat a lot of meat and we also try to limit dairy. This is a vegetarian version of a favorite. The guacamole keeps it creamy even without sour cream. My kids eat this up!  This can easily be placed in tortillas for regular taco filling as well.


Vegetarian Taco Salad or Taco Filling

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained (you could also use pinto beans if you prefer)
1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 package of Taco Seasoning (I use the 30% less sodium kind by McCormick)
2/3 c. water

Heat beans, water, and taco seasoning in a large skillet. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more water if needed.

Serve over mixed salad greens. Top with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives, guacamole, salsa, etc. We always add some broccoli slaw as well. Sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips if desired.
