Black Bean Pepper Tacos
Soft black beans and bell pepper make a warm filling for corn tortillas. The meal suits an evening when you want to cook one filling and let people assemble their own plates. Drain the beans before they enter the skillet, and reduce loose liquid before filling the tortillas so they stay easier to pick up.
