Black Bean and Zucchini Tacos
with lime slaw / avocado / sour cream

Active: 35 Total: 35
Black beans and zucchini in a blend of spices give these tacos a great balance of textures. Add avocado and sour cream for a creamy finish.
Smarts: In many tropical countries pineapple and other fruits are topped with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of chili powder - it's a unique way to balance out the natural sweetness of the fruit. Feel free to serve the pineapple spears without those toppings if you prefer.
