These look yummy!

So sorry I missed your post about going to Baltimore. I live right downtown. Let me know if you ever need "off the beaten path" recommendations in the future. :)

NICE. Today I asked C if he wanted anything particular for dinner, and he said your black bean tacos. He did NOT mention that you had just posted the recipe, so I just made my own version of them with the stuff I had in the kitchen already... and here they are after all that! I wasn't too far off, but will definitely use THIS recipe next time!!!!! :)

I have everything on hand except the tomatoes. What a beautiful and simple family fare.

delicious!! I'll have to make these when my hubby travels too (he's Mr. I don't like beans).
