Introduce your meatless Mondays to Taco Tuesdays… or Tex-Mex Tuesdays, whatever alliteration works for you. In fact, the most important introduction will be your mouth to this fiesta of flavor. Black beans flavored with chile and cumin seasoning are added to corn and poblano, filling these tortillas with bulky flavor. Cheese, cilantro, and crunchy onions top these tacos with tangible, toothsome, Texas-tinged tastes. Whatever day, these are delights. Tip: Easier way to mince cilantro? Gather them all in one hand and lay on the cutting board. Use your knife in rocking motion to cut, then turn 90 degrees and repeat until the herbs are properly minced!

Meatlovers! If adding protein, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook with 1 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. If using diced chicken breasts, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using Impossible burger, break up burger until heated through, 4-6 minutes. If using ground pork, break up pork until no pink remains and pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Add to tacos as desired.
