Cook rice according to package directions. Heat skillet to
medium high and spray lightly with the oil spray. Once hot
lightly spray both sides of a corn tortilla and place it
into the pan. Fold into a taco shape and heat until
crispy, or to your own preference. Lightly salt if you
like. Cut tomatoes, onions, avocado and lettuce. Place
tomatoes, avocado, and onions into a bowl and add the salsa
mixture, stir. Heat black beans in microwave according to
the directions on the can. To assemble spoon in black
beans, then the salsa, then the lettuce and EAT!! This is
my favorite meal, I eat it almost every day! I hope you
enjoy this as much as I do. It is low fat due to the oil
SPRAY, and delicious.


Approximately 250 calories and 4 grams of fat per taco,
depending on how much avocado is used.
