Tacos meet chili in this quick and easy dinner recipe. We used black beans since they reminded me of refried beans that are often a part of a taco meal. Black beans are high in fibre and protein and are even a source of iron and calcium. Cumin is a spice that originated in Egypt and supports blood sugar regulation, aid digestion and is a source of magnesium and iron. This recipe uses the slow cooker but you can easily simmer it in a pot for about an hour and get a similar flavour.
