Hoff's Black Bean Tacos

That's right, Wednesday night is Taco Night at the Hoff House!  Usually I just mix a can of fat-free, vegetarian, refried beans with a bag of Uncle Ben's Spanish Ready Rice for a super quick meal.  But tonight, I decided to go a little healthier.  These tacos are simple and delicious!

My2Cents: I usually serve my tacos with a side of lime tortilla chips or chopped mango - depends on how healthy I feel like being.
