Black Bean Tacos/Pitas

If you're looking to cook something quick & easy, this is your new go-to meal.  Seriously, it requires minimal ingredients & is ready so quickly you don't have to eat a snack before starting to cook dinner (like I usually do because I'm so hungry).  It works equally well with pita bread cut in half or soft taco shells.

Black Bean Tacos/Pitas
This meal was originally inspired by a Smitten Kitchen recipe.

1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
1 teaspoon + 1/2 teaspoon cumin
~ 1 cup fresh spinach, rinsed & ripped into small pieces
juice from half of a lime
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
4 soft taco shells or 2 pieces of pita bread cut in half & opened
salt & pepper

1.  Heat black beans over medium heat in small pan, stirring occasionally until hot.  Add salt, pepper, & 1 teaspoon cumin.  Stir to combine.

2.  Combine spinach with 1/2 teaspoon cumin, lime juice, olive oil, salt, & pepper.

3.  Heat taco shells or pitas either in the microwave or oven.

4.  Layer beans then spinach, & crumble feta cheese on top.

Makes 4 servings.
