Taco Filling - EASY and more nutritious than meat filling!

Knowing the calorie content of meat, and because of the fillers and hormones used in meat, I try to eat meat as sparingly as possible. I will often try to substitute partial, if not all meat in recipes where possible. This is a great meat substitute and much more filling than the meat I used to make! It is delicious and my family is always surprised when they find out there is no meat in it! Cooking beans is really easy once you can get your mind wrapped around the concept. But to simplify it even further, THRIVE now has par boiled beans - instant beans - for those days you are in a hurry!
