The shopping list for these four-ingredient, high-protein and high-fiber chorizo and black bean tacos is super short: Mexican chorizo, a can of black beans, shredded Mexican cheese and corn or flour tortillas. The chorizo is cooked in a skillet (be sure to drain the excess grease) and then the beans and cheese is stirred in. Simple, right? Load the filling into corn or flour tortillas. You could also fill the tacos with the chorizo-bean mixture and then toast them in a hot skillet to crisp them up. (Check out the health benefits of protein and the health benefits of fiber.)
