Rustic Tacos

Here we are, another Sunday and another week ahead of us and if your home is anything like mine, the question that always comes up on any given Sunday is, "what's for dinner?"And because most nights are usually busy for me, I try to make something low key, easy, filling, healthy, and quick so that we can eat at a reasonable hour and still get done all of the things I needed to do.  So when I think of quick and easy meals, I tend to lean towards Mexican food.  However, one of the drawbacks of Mexican can be the fact that a lot of things are deep fried.  For example, traditional taco shells are fried and therefore inevitably, you're taking extra unnecessary calories.  Today's recipe is the best of both worlds meaning it's not only quick & yummy but also healthy. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
4 corn tortillas
cooked black beans (or any bean you prefer)
cooked TVH protein (click here for details)*
diced tomatoes
sliced avocados
Mexican cheese*
chard & spinach mix
cilantro and lime for garnish
sauce or salsa of your choice

Directions:
1. Heat a stove top grill or pan over medium to high heat.
2. Once the grill has heated thoroughly, place corn tortillas on the grill and cook for 5 minutes.
3. Once that side is cooked, flip and cook for another 5 minutes.
4. Remove tortillas from heat and cool for a couple of minutes.
5. Assemble each tortilla with beans, protein, spinach & chard mixture, tomatoes, & avocado.
6. Top with cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and your favorite sauce.
