I enjoy eating black beans, and my family does, as well. This would be a good recipe to try. When making this dish, I would use a can of low sodium black beans, mild green chilies, whole wheat flour tortillas, and mild salsa. The black beans, brown rice, and whole wheat flour tortillas make this a nutritious meal.

Beans are incredibly healthy and once your body is used to eating more of them, they tend not to cause that much gas. I love Tex Mex food and don't eat meat so I'm always on the look out for new veggie recipes. You could make this recipe even more budget-friendly by serving with rice.
