Sometimes, I want a sidedish for our taco salads or enchiliadas. This night, I needed something with a kick and with some vegetables to bring up the vitamin count in our meal. Ever striving for a well-balanced diet even on our limited budget.
I knew that I had a bag of cooked black beans in the freezer and some frozen corn. I also had about a cup of leftover spinach in the refrigerator. Hmmm… turned to Mmmmm!
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
