Gluten Free Black Bean Tacos

In need of a last minute, healthy dinner?

Here's the answer:

Gluten Free Black Bean Tacos!

And they are good.

With the black beans, cabbage, lime vinegarette, avocado, and bite of feta, you will absolutely not miss the meat.  This is a great meatless meal.

Inside the corn tortilla there's partially mashed black beans, which are full of fiber and protein, help regulate blood sugar, lower cholesterol, and contain vitamin B6/folate and iron which are very helpful to women of child-bearing age or those who are anemic.

And then there's the cabbage, which is a good source of vitamins C and E, and also has calcium, magnesium, potassium, and fiber.

Don't forget the avocado, a good source of monounsaturated fat, which helps lower cholesterol, and there's potassium, which is also heart healthy. 

Now, don't you just feel healthier?

The best part is, this doesn't taste like a "health" meal.  

You're going to love it.
