Southwestern Taco Salad

Both Brett and I are huge fans of taco salad. Not only are they tasty, they are also a snap to make and don't require you to heat up your home in order to have a good meal.



The seasoned black beans andtraditional refried beanscombined with the crispness of the cucumbers and lettuce, and the juiciness of the tomatoes complimented for a great texture as well as flavor.



This taco salad will be appearing on our dinner tables quite regularly this summer.
